Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. 

On August 18, 2010, we issued Convertible Notes to certain accredited investors in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (the “Convertible Notes”).  The Convertible Notes accrue interest at the rate of 8% per annum and mature on August 18, 2012.  

The investors will be repaid in equity of the Company, not cash.  During the term of the Convertible Notes, investors may at any time and at their sole option convert outstanding principal and interest into Common Stock of the Company at a rate of $0.10 per share.  In addition, during the term of the Note, should the Company complete any subsequent financing, debt or equity, in an aggregate amount greater or equal to $750,000, which includes any equity component or the right to convert into equity, the investor shall have the option to exchange any outstanding principal and interest of the Note into the new financing.  

Additionally, each investor shall receive 100% warrant coverage in the form of five year warrants to purchase that number of shares of common stock as follows: that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) 50% of the Principal, by (y) $0.10, with the resulting number of shares having an exercise price equal to $0.10 per share of Common Stock, plus that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) 25% of the Principal, by (y) $0.125, with the resulting number of shares having an exercise price equal to $0.125 per share of Common Stock, plus that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) 25% of the Principal, by (y) $0.15, with the resulting number of shares having an exercise price equal to $0.15 per share of Common Stock.  The warrants have a cashless exercise provision.  

If during the term of the Convertible Notes, the Company has an equity financing of less than $750,000 that values the Company on a pre-money basis at or below $35 million on a fully-diluted basis, each investor will have a right of first refusal to participate in the financing.  
 
 
Item 3.02  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information set forth in Item 1.01 hereof is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.  The Notes and the Warrants were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.  These transactions qualified for exemption from registration because among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering, each investor was an accredited investor and/or qualified institutional buyer, each investor had access to information about the Company and their investment, each investor took the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
