Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On or about August 1, 2007, American Defense Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a one-year Independent Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Richard Torykian (“Torykian”), pursuant to which Torykian agreed to provide consulting services with respect to business opportunities and marketing strategies of the Company. The Consulting Agreement has previously been filed as Exhibit 10.21 to Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s registration statement on Form 10, filed with the SEC on April 11, 2008. Mr. Torykian is and has been a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since December, 2007.
On August 5, 2008, the Company and Torykian entered into an amendment to the Consulting Agreement (the “Amendment”) which is effective as of July 23, 2008. The Amendment clarifies that the Company will pay to Torykian an award fee of 5% of the fees paid to the Company by a customer under a contract or subcontract obtained by the Company in which (1) Torykian initiated the relationship between the Company and the customer under such contract or subcontract or (ii) any person first introduced by Torykian to the Company initiated such relationship between the Company and the customer (each, a “Qualifying Contract”). As of the effective date of the Amendment, the Company had not entered into any Qualifying Contracts. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay a one time fee of $99,999 representing consulting fee adjustments for 2007 and as payment of quarterly fees for the first two quarters of 2008, a quarterly fee of $25,000 and an option to purchase 175,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on each July 31 during the term of the Consulting Agreement.
