ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
As previously disclosed in Item 3.02 of the Company’s Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on November 5, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Santeo Financial Corporation (“Santeo”), which is owned by Ron Ruskowsky, the former President and CEO, to substantially reduce the amount owed by the Company under its consulting agreement with Santeo. Under the terms of the agreement, which was executed on October 19, 2012, the amount owed to Santeo was reduced by $200,000 and capped at $397,193. The latter amount and will be repaid by monthly payments of $8,500, a single payment of $197,193 on or before May 1, 2013 and another payment of $100,000 by that date if the Company is successful in raising at least $500,000 from the sale of common stock.
On November 20, 2012, the Company entered into a series of agreements whereby a debt of $59,000 owed to Randall Lanham, Esquire and his firm, Lanham and Lanham, LLC, for his services as general counsel to the Company was extinguished in exchange for the issuance of common shares. The invoices from Lanham and Lanham, LLC date from October 2006 and provide for the conversion of the debt to common shares at its $.001 par value, which shares would to be issued to Mr. Lanham individually. Mr. Lanham assigned $40,000 of the debt obligation to three entities and one individual. The Company agreed to issue restricted shares of common stock to these assignees contingent upon their forgiveness of the $40,000 in debt they collectively held. The number of shares issued to these assignees is more fully described in Item 3.02 hereof.
The remaining $19,000 debt to Lanham & Lanham, LLC will be forgiven by Mr. Lanham in exchange for the issuance to him of free trading shares from the Company’s newly-adopted 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2012 Stock Incentive Plan is more fully described in the Company’s form S-8, which was filed with the Commission on November 21, 2012. As a result, Mr. Lanham, individually, will be issued 2,500,000 free trading shares from the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan.
