ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On August 6, 2009, we signed a $8.0 million common stock purchase agreement with
Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company.
Concurrently with entering into the common stock purchase agreement, we entered
into a registration rights agreement with Fusion Capital. Under the
registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement
related to the transaction with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission
("SEC") covering the shares that have been issued or may be issued to Fusion
Capital under the common stock purchase agreement. After the SEC has declared
effective the registration statement related to the transaction, we have the
right over a 25-month period to sell our shares of common stock to Fusion
Capital from time to time in amounts between $75,000 and $2.0 million, depending
on certain conditions as set forth in the agreement, up to an aggregate of $8.0
million.
In consideration for entering into the agreement, upon execution of the common
stock purchase agreement we will issue to Fusion Capital 86,933 shares of our
common stock as a commitment fee upon approval from the NYSE Amex Equities stock
market. Also, we will issue to Fusion Capital an additional 86,933 shares as a
commitment fee pro rata as we receive the $8.0 million of future funding. The
purchase price of the shares related to the $8.0 million of future funding will
be based on the prevailing market prices of the Company's shares at the time of
sales without any fixed discount, and the Company will control the timing and
amount of any sales of shares to Fusion Capital. Fusion Capital shall not have
the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any
business day that the price of our common stock is below $1.00. The common
stock purchase agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion
without any cost to us. There are no negative covenants, restrictions on future
fundings, penalties or liquidated damages in the agreement. The proceeds
received by the Company under the common stock purchase agreement will be used
to fund general corporate operations, including without limitation the marketing
and sale of our pain management device.
The foregoing description of the common stock purchase agreement and the
registration rights agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the full text of the common stock purchase agreement and the registration rights
agreement, a copy of each of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2,
respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by
reference.
