ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT


The disclosure set forth in Item 3.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 3.02

UNREGISTERED SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On February 12, 2007, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Thomas Girschweiler, a director and stockholder of the Company.  On February 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Walter Villiger, an affiliate of the Company.  Pursuant to such agreements, Messrs. Girschweiler and Villiger (together, the “Investors”) purchased from the Company promissory notes (“Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000.  Each Note, together with interest accrued thereon at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum (collectively, the “Conversion Amount”), shall become due and payable in one lump sum on the earlier of (x) the second anniversary of the date of such Note, or (y) an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes).  In addition, if the Note is outstanding at the time of any bona fide equity financing of the Company of at least $1,000,000 (excluding conversion of the Notes) (a “Financing”), then the Investor may convert the Note into that number of shares or units of the equity security(ies) of the Company sold in the Financing (“New Equity Securities”) as is equal to the Conversion Amount divided by 85% of the per share or per unit purchase price of the New Equity Securities.  In connection with the purchase of the Notes, each Investor received a loan origination fee equal to 10% of the principal amount of the Note purchased by such Investor, payable in shares of the Company’s common stock based on the closing price of the shares on the OTCBB on the day preceding the date of purchase of the Note.  The Notes were sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
