Item 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement |
On May 23, 2007, Canta Rana Ranch, L.P., a California limited partnership (“Canta Rana”), released CardioVascular BioTherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) from its obligations under the Standard Lease Guaranty, executed by the Company on March 15, 2006 (the “Guaranty”), in connection with the Standard Industrial Net Lease (the “Phage Lease”), dated March 15, 2006, between Phage Biotechnology Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“Phage”) and Canta Rana, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 8-K on March 21, 2006 and amended on March 23, 2006 (“March 2006 8-K”).
The Agreement Exchanging Lease Guaranties (the “Agreement”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, executed by Canta Rana and the Company, among other parties, became effective on May 23, 2007 when the terms therein were satisfied and which effectiveness thereby terminated and superseded the Guaranty, which released the Company of any and all obligations of Phage under the Phage Lease. More specifically, the Company is no longer liable for the full performance of each and every obligation of Phage under the Phage Lease. On March 15, 2006, the date upon which the Guaranty became effective, the maximum contingent liability to the Company was approximately $1,837,000 for rent under the Phage Lease in the event Phage defaulted. With the Guaranty terminated, the Company has no further obligation of any kind whatsoever to Canta Rana or Phage with regard to the Phage Lease.
Also in relation to the termination of the Guaranty, the Indemnity and Reimbursement Agreement, dated March 15, 2006, between the Company and Phage that was executed in exchange for the Guaranty, and filed with the March 2006 8-K, automatically terminated on May 21, 2007, the effective date of the exchange of guaranties referenced in the Agreement.
It was mutually agreed among the Company, Phage, and Canta Rana that entering into the Agreement and termination of the Guaranty was in all of their best interests. Phage is an affiliated private biotechnology company that manufactures recombinant protein drugs for the Company and is the Company’s supplier of drug products.
