Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
The Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Centurion Private Equity, LLC (“Centurion”) on January 31, 2011. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, Centurion committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of our common stock, over a period of time terminating on the earlier of: (i) 24 months from the effective date of a registration statement to be filed in connection therewith or (ii) 30 months from the date of the Investment Agreement (the “Line”), subject to an effective registration statement covering the resale of the common stock and subject to certain conditions and limitations set forth in the Investment Agreement, including limitations based upon the trading volume of the Company’s common stock. The maximum aggregate number of shares issuable by us and purchasable by Centurion under the Investment Agreement is $10,000,000 worth of stock.
We may draw on the facility from time to time, as and when we determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement. The maximum amount that we are entitled to put in any one notice is such number of shares of Common Stock as equals $500,000 provided that the number of shares sold in each put shall not exceed a share volume limitation equal to the lesser of: (i) 2 million shares or (ii) 17.5% of the aggregate trading volume of the Common Stock traded on our primary exchange during any pricing period for such put excluding any days where the lowest intra-day trade price is less than the trigger price (which is the greater of: (i) the floor price plus a fixed discount of $.01, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances; (ii) the floor price if any set by us divided by 0.97; or (iii) $.01, the greater of all three clauses being referred to as the “Trigger Price”). The offering price of the securities to Centurion will equal the lesser of: (i) 97% of the of the lowest daily volume weighted average price, or “VWAPs,” of our common stock during the ten trading day period beginning on the trading day immediately following the date Centurion receives our put notice (the “Market Price”) or (ii) the Market Price minus $0.01. However, if, on any trading day during a pricing period, the daily VWAP of the common stock is lower than the Trigger Price, then the put amount is automatically suspended for each such trading day during the pricing period, with only the balance of such put amount above the minimum acceptable price of being put to Centurion. There are put restrictions applied on days between the put notice date and the closing date with respect to that particular put. During such time, we are not entitled to deliver another put not ice.
Logistically, in terms of timing of each put, the Investment Agreement provides that at least five business days but no more than ten business days prior to any intended put date, we must deliver an advance put notice to Centurion, stating the number of shares included in the put and the put date.
There are circumstances under which we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion, including the following:
| ● | we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act to cover the resale of the shares by Centurion; |
| ● | we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion unless our common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and has not been suspended from trading; |
| ● | we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion if an injunction shall have been issued and remain in force against us, or action commenced by a governmental authority which has not been stayed or abandoned, prohibiting the purchase or the issuance of the shares to Centurion; |
| ● | we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion if we have not complied with our obligations and are otherwise in breach of or in default under, the Investment Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement executed in connection therewith with Centurion; and |
| ● | we will not be entitled to put shares to Centurion to the extent that such shares would cause Centurion’s beneficial ownership to exceed 9.99% of our outstanding shares; |
The Investment Agreement further provides that Centurion is entitled to customary indemnification from us for any losses or liabilities it suffers as a result of any breach by us of any provisions of the Investment Agreement or our registration rights agreement with Centurion, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by a third-party arising out of or resulting from Centurion's execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Investment Agreement or the registration rights agreement or from material misstatements or omissions in the prospectus accompanying the registration statement for the resale of the shares issued to Centurion.
The Investment Agreement also contains representations and warranties of each of the parties. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Investment Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Investment Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a stockholder or investor might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.
In connection with the preparation of the Investment Agreement and the registration rights agreement, we issued Centurion 132,891 shares of common stock as a document preparation fee having a value of $10,000 and 2,577,320 shares of common stock, having a value of $200,000 (2% of the Maximum Offering Amount”) as a commitment fee.
This description of the Investment Agreement with Centurion does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Investment Agreement, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
