Appointment of New Officer, Employment Agreement and Consulting Agreement.

 

On September 4, 2013, the Company appointed Mr. Hans H. Hertell as the Company’s President, and in connection with such appointment, Daniel Moon resigned as the Company’s President. In addition, on that same date, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an Employment Agreement with Mr. Hertell and a Consulting Agreement with Hertell Group, LLC. (“Hertell Group”). Mr. Hertell is the sole officer and member of Hertell Group. The effective date of both agreements is August 28, 2013.

 

Under the Employment Agreement, among other terms, we agreed to pay Mr. Hertell an annual salary of $500,000. The salary commences at such time as the Company generates monthly gross revenues from its plasma processing operations of at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) for two (2) consecutive months (“Performance Event”), and (ii) upon the Company achieving the Performance Event, the Base Salary shall commence effective as of the first day of the stated two (2) consecutive month period and shall continue throughout the Term. In addition, upon occurrence of the Performance Event, the Executive will be entitled to receive a stock award of 1,000,000 shares of common stock (“Stock Grant”), which shall vest immediately. Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing at least ten (10) days written notice to the other party.

 

Under the Consulting Agreement, among other terms, the Hertell Group will provide general business consulting services including but not limited to business development strategy, introduction of prospective business acquisitions or joint venture participation, deal-making, introduction to capital markets, marketing strategies, and other duties as mutually agreed upon by the parties. As consideration or the services, the Hertell Group will receive 9,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company which will be issued immediately. The term of the Consulting Agreement is three years.

 

The descriptions of the Employment Agreement and Consulting Agreement are not complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each agreement which are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein.

 

Amendment to RTC Share Exchange Agreement.

 

On May 11, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Resource Technology Corp., a newly formed Florida corporation (“RTC”), and the RTC shareholders to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of RTC in exchange for 300 million shares of common stock of the Company. Please refer to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on May 17, 2013 for a complete description of the foregoing.

 

On September 10, 2013, the Company amended its Share Exchange Agreement with RTC and the RTC shareholders. Under the amendment, the parties agreed to reduce the number of “Exchange Shares” as defined in Section 4.01 of the Agreement (issuable to the RTC shareholders) from 300,000,000 shares of USPR common stock to 290,000,000 shares of USPR common stock.
