ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The section in the Prospectus above titled “Indemnification of Directors and Officers” in incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
In March 2011, the Company issued Bradley Melton, a 5% shareholder of the Company and the son of our Chief Executive Officer and Director, 1,528,560 shares of common stock as an inducement to Mr. Melton loaning the Company $40,000, which was evidenced by a Promissory Note.
The securities described above were issued under an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The issuance of the securities did not involve a “public offering” based upon the following factors: (i) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction; (ii) a limited number of securities were issued; (iii) there was no public solicitation; and (iv) the securities were issued as “restricted securities” pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
On July 14, 2011, James Percell, our former Chief Executive Officer, converted 192,857 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and all accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into 9,075,645 shares of our common stock. The common stock was issued to Mr. Percell under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The issuance of securities did not involve a “public offering” based upon the following factors: (i) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction; (ii) a limited number of securities were issued to a single offeree; (iii) there was no public solicitation; (iv) the investment intent of the offeree; and (v) the restriction on transferability of the securities issued.
On July 21, 2011, we entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with The One World Doll Project, Inc. ("OWDP"), a Texas corporation, and the persons owning 100% of the outstanding capital stock of OWDP (the “OWDP Stockholders”). At closing, the OWDP Stockholders transferred all of their shares of common stock to us in exchange for an aggregate of 130,013,584 newly issued pre-reverse split shares of our common stock. Upon closing of this transaction, we had 143,577,591 pre-split shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The 130,013,584 pre-split shares issued to the OWDP Stockholders at closing represented 90.55% of our voting securities. The securities were issued under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The issuance of securities did not involve a “public offering” based upon the following factors: (i) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction; (ii) a limited number of securities were issued to a limited number of offerees; (iii) there was no public solicitation; (iv) the investment intent of the offerees; and (v) the restriction on transferability of the securities issued.
From January 2011 to October 2012, we sold seventeen 14% convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $365,500. The outstanding principal and interest on the debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock at the conversion price of $0.04 per share, and accordingly, the principal amount of the debentures currently outstanding (approximately $364,718) is convertible into an aggregate of approximately 9,117,950 shares of our common stock, exclusive of interest. The convertible debentures are due and payable on various dates from October 2011 to July 2016.
The debentures were issued to investors under an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The issuance of the securities did not involve a “public offering” based upon the following factors: (i) the issuance of the securities were isolated private transactions; (ii) a limited number of securities were issued to offerees in separate transactions; (iii) there was no public solicitation; and (iv) the securities were issued as “restricted securities” pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
On August 31, 2011, we entered into an engagement agreement with Kelley & Starling, LLC (“Kelley”) under which Kelley is to provide us accounting services. As part of the agreement, we can issue Kelley our common stock as partial consideration for the services provided. To date, Kelley has agreed to accept a total of 767,500 shares of our common stock as partial consideration for the services it has provided us.
On November 8, 2011, we entered into a six month consulting agreement with Economic Research, Inc. (“ERI”) whereby, in consideration for the provision of consulting services, we issued ERI 500,000 shares of common stock and agreed to issue ERI a stock option to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock during each month of the consulting agreement. We issued ERI a stock option to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock during each of November 2011, December 2011 and January 2012, which three options had a 180 day term and an exercise price of $0.02 per share. ERI exercised the first option in November 2011, whereby we received $10,000 and issued ERI 500,000 shares of common stock, and ERI exercised the second option in December 2011, whereby we received $10,000 and issued ERI another 500,000 shares of common stock. All of ERI’s options have expired to date.
In January 2012, the Company entered into a one year consulting contract with Al Torres Photography valued at $25,000 in exchange for photography services. Payment will be in the form of common stock at $0.04 per share (625,000 shares of common stock).
In March 2012, the Company agreed to issue Sherman Walker, the brother of our Chief Executive Officer and Director, 219,300 shares of common stock in consideration for custom office furniture.
In July 2012, the Company entered into one year a consulting contract with Jacob Heikes LLC valued at $60,000 in exchange for business development services. Payment will be in common stock at 4 cents a share (1,500,000 shares of common stock). The agreement has a term of 12 months.
In July 2012, the Company entered into a one year consulting contract with Jacob Heikes LLC valued at $62,000 in exchange for general business services. Payment will be in common stock at 4 cents a share (1,550,000 shares of common stock). The agreement has a term of 12 months.
On September 28, 2012, the Company amended the consulting contract for business development services with Jacob Heikes Enterprises LLC, extending the term of the agreement to September 20, 2014, in consideration for 1,875,000 additional shares of common stock, for a total of 3,425,000 shares under the terms of the agreement. Payment will be in common stock at $0.04 a share (3,425,000 shares of common stock based upon the market price of the Company's common stock as determined by reference to recent cash sales).
On September 28, 2012, the Company amended the consulting contract for general business services with Jacob Heikes, Enterprises LLC, extending the term of the agreement to July 20, 2014, in consideration for 1,600,000 additional shares of common stock, for a total of 3,100,000 shares. Payment will be in common stock at $0.04 a share (3,100,000 shares of common stock based upon the market price of the Company's common stock as determined by reference to recent cash sales).
The securities described above were issued to consultants under an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The issuance of the securities did not involve a “public offering” based upon the following factors: (i) the issuance of the securities were isolated private transactions; (ii) a limited number of securities were issued to offerees in separate transactions; (iii) there was no public solicitation; and (iv) the securities were issued as “restricted securities” pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
1.
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
|
|
(a)
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
|
|
|
(b)
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and rise represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
|
|
|
(c)
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material changes to such information in the registration statement.
|
|
2.
|
For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
|
|
3.
|
To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
|
|
4.
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer of controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
|
|
5.
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act:
|
|
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
|
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements of filing on Form S-1 and authorized this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned in the City of Houston, Texas, on December 13, 2012.
