The forms of Subscription Agreement and Warrant are filed as Exhibit 10.01 and 10.02, respectively, to this Report, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 3.02           UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

On February 24, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), in a private placement transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the “Private Placement”), the Company issued to the Purchasers Units consisting of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 750,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at any time on or after the Closing Date at an initial exercise price of $1.80 per share, subject to future anti-dilution adjustments, for a period of two years and six months. The terms of the Warrants, including, but not limited to, its rights and preferences and the exercise features, are set forth in the form of Warrant filed as Exhibit 10.02 to this Report.
