Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On September 7, 2006, we accepted subscriptions for 27.6 units (‘‘Units’’), each unit consisting of 25,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for a purchase price of $25,000 per unit from accredited investors in a private placement pursuant to the terms of a Confidential Private Offering Memorandum, dated July 7, 2006, as supplemented (the ‘‘Memorandum’’). We received aggregate gross proceeds from the sales of the Units of $690,000. We had previously sold 101.1 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,527,500 pursuant to the Memorandum on August 11, 2006, as reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’) on August 14, 2006, as amended by our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on August 28, 2006.
The sales were made solely to ‘‘accredited investors,’’ as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’). The Units and the common stock comprising the Units were not registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws that exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
A placement agent sold 8 Units for a total of $200,000. In connection with such sales, we paid the placement agent a cash fee of $12,000 and issued warrants to purchase 12,000 shares of our common stock. The placement agent previously sold 33 Units and, in connection therewith, we paid the placement agent a cash fee of $49,500 and issued warrants to purchase 49,500 shares of our common stock.
The Company has agreed to file a ‘‘resale’’ registration statement with the SEC covering all shares of common stock sold in the private placement on or before the date that is 90 days after September 7, 2006, the Termination Date of the private placement. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the ‘‘resale’’ registration statement from the effective date through and until 18 months after the earlier of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement and the termination date of the offering unless all securities registered under the registration statement have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, at which time exempt sales may be permitted for purchasers of the Units. The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to have such ‘‘resale’’ registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible and, in any event, within 120 days after the initial filing date.
Should the Company fail to file the registration statement by the 90th day following the termination date of the offering, or to respond to the initial comments of the SEC within 21 days after receipt, or exercise our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 120 days of filing, then we will be obligated to pay to each purchaser of Units a fee of 1% of the purchaser’s investment, payable in cash or common stock at Fair Market Value (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) at the discretion of the Company (up to a maximum of 6%) for each 30 day period (prorated for partial periods) that such failure continues uncured.
The foregoing description of registration rights is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 14, 2006.
