NOTE 9.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTIGENCIES

 

On January 22, 2014, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Czarkowski, which was terminated in March of 2014 resulting in cancellation of certain options and replaced with a consulting agreement. The consulting agreement has an initial term of two years and provides that the Company will pay Mr. Czarkowski $12,000 per month during the term of the agreement which is being recorded under contract services in the accompanying condensed statement of operations. As a result of his termination the shares were returned and the parties entered into a share purchase agreement in which Strategic Capital Partners sold 300,000 shares to Mr. Czarkowski at a price of $0.02.

 

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Strategic Capital Partners, LLC, the Company’s largest shareholder, originally sold 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Czarkowski at a price of $0.02 per share.

 

The Company also originally granted Mr. Czarkowski options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The options grants were cancelled. The Company granted new options to Mr. Czarkowski pursuant to the consulting agreement. The new options are as follows:

Options are subject to certain vesting requirements.

 

The Company valued the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model resulting in a total fair market value of approximately $25,000 which will be amortized to stock based expense on the vesting dates.

 

On March 25, 2014, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Keogh. The agreement: (i) has an initial term of three years; (ii) requires that Mr. Keogh devote at least 50% of his time to the Company and; (iii) provides that the Company will pay Mr. Keogh $12,000 per month during the term of the agreement. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Strategic Capital Partners, LLC, the Company's largest shareholder, sold 1,200,000 shares of the Company's common stock to Mr. Keogh at a price of $0.02 per share. As the purchase price was estimated to be the fair market value of the stock, the Company was not required to recognize any expense related to this transaction.

 

Of these 1,200,000 shares, 300,000 shares vested on March 25, 2014 and 900,000 are subject to the following vesting requirements provided that Mr. Keogh is employed the Company on the applicable vesting date: (i) 300,000 Shares will vest on the earlier of March 20, 2015 or the date the Company receives at least $15,000,000 from the sale of its debt or equity securities; (ii) 300,000 Shares will vest on the earlier of March 20, 2016 or the date the Company receives at least $30,000,000 from the sale of its debt or equity securities; for purposes of the foregoing, traditional financing from banks or similar financial institutions will not be given effect and the required amounts and (iii) 300,000 Shares will vest on the earlier March 19, 2017 or the date the Company receives at least $45,000,000 from the sale of its debt or equity to be raised will be cumulative.

 

If during the term of the employment agreement Mr. Keogh is Terminated other than For Cause, there is a Change in Control, or Mr. Keogh terminates the employment agreement for Good Reason, then, all shares which have not yet vested will immediately vest.

 

All shares that are not vested at the time of termination of Mr. Keogh's employment, if such termination is a Termination for Cause or a Voluntary Termination, will be repurchased by the Company at a price of $0.001 per share. Any shares which are not vested and which are not required to be purchased by the Company will be returned to treasury and cancelled.

 

In addition the Company granted Mr. Keogh an option to purchase the Company's common stock pursuant to the following terms.
