On August 2, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Tom Skarpelos to provide certain corporate services to our company in consideration for a consulting fee of $15,000 per month. The term of the agreement is for one year.

On September 1, 2010, we entered into an independent contractor agreement with David L. Tousley, one of our board of directors to provide certain services to our company. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Tousley agreed to perform such duties as are regularly and customarily performed by the Chief Financial Officer of a corporation in consideration for, among other things, $100,000 per annum. Mr. Tousley is also eligible to receive an annual bonus of 50% of his annual fees and a stock option award of 200,000 options at the end of each year at the discretion of the board of directors. The term of the agreement is two years from September 1, 2010, unless both parties agree to extend. Either party may terminate the agreement by giving six months notice plus two months for every year of engagement of the contractor, up to 12 months.

On September 15, 2010 we entered into a sublease agreement with Genesis Research LLC, to provide executive offices to our company, in Hoboken, New Jersey, at a rent of $2,500 per month plus utilities. The lease is for a one year period. The offices at 50 Harrison Street, Suite 315A, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030 will be our new corporate headquarters.

We issued the securities to one U.S. person, who is an accredited investor (as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in issuing these securities to this investor we relied on the registration exemption provided for in Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
