Item 1.01                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On May 31, 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 15,000,000 three (3) year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase half a share of the Common Stock as part of an unit that also included shares of Common Stock.
 
On April 20, 2014, the Company sent a letter (the “Warrant Amendment Letter”) to all the holders of the Warrants offering to reduce the exercise price of the Warrants from $6.50 per share to $5.75 per share, if the holders of the Warrants accepted the Company’s offer to exercise the Warrants in full for cash by April 22, 2014 (the "Expiration Date").  The Company subsequently extended the Expiration Date to April 24, 2014.
 
On April 24, 2014, one holder of Warrants, whom is an accredited investor, accepted the Company’s offer and thereby exercised his warrants, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $138,224.25. The Company expects to use such proceeds for general working capital and other purposes.
 
The foregoing is only a brief description of the Warrant Amendment Letter, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrant Amendment Letter taken together with the Warrants. The form of the Warrants is referenced as Exhibit 10.2 and the Warrant Amendment Letter is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.03                      Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.
 
The information set forth in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
 
Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 25, 2014, Mr. Richard Raisig resigned from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The resignation is not in connection with any known disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.  The Company has commenced a search to find a permanent replacement for Mr. Raisig.
