As additional compensation under the employment agreements, the Registrant issued 250,000 shares of the Registrant’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and shall issue an additional 250,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on each anniversary of the respective employment agreements.  There is currently no market for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and they can only be converted into shares of common stock upon a change of control of the Registrant.  Pursuant to Dr. Diwan’s employment agreement, the Registrant shall provide for life insurance coverage in the amount of $2,000,000, in which the Registrant is a beneficiary of the amount equal to $1,000,000.  The employment agreements also provide for customary provisions for vacations, and benefits .The agreements do not provide for bonuses other than such bonuses as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Item 3.02
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The securities described in Item 1.01 above were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The agreements executed in connection with this sale contain representations to support the Registrant’s reasonable belief that the Investor had access to information concerning the Registrant’s operations and financial condition, the Investor acquired the securities for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof in the absence of an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, and that the Investor are sophisticated within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are “accredited investors” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). In addition, the issuances did not involve any public offering; the Registrant made no solicitation in connection with the sale other than communications with the Investor; the Registrant obtained representations from the Investor regarding their investment intent, experience and sophistication; and the Investor either received or had access to adequate information about the Registrant in order to make an informed investment decision.

 
 

 

At the time of their issuance, the securities will be deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act, and the certificates representing the securities shall bear legends to that effect.  The securities may not be resold or offered in the United States without registration or an exemption from registration.
