  Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On July 1, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Mel Harris to serve as a member of the Board and to fill a vacancy on the Board created by Mr. Bernstein’s retirement.

 

The Company and Mr. Harris also entered into a Consulting Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date, pursuant to which Mr. Harris will provide certain consulting-related services to the Company (the “Consulting Agreement”). The Consulting Agreement also provides that the Company will nominate Mr. Harris to serve as a director and, if elected, that Mr. Harris will serve during the duration of the Consulting Agreement as Vice Chairman of the Board. Mr. Harris will not be entitled to any compensation for his service on the Board during the term of the Consulting Agreement.

 

In consideration of his consulting services pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Harris $225,000 per year commencing on the first day of the month following the month during which the Company first becomes cash flow positive, and payable in equal monthly installments during each month thereafter. As an inducement to enter into the Consulting Agreement, the Company issued to Mr. Harris a five-year warrant to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the a price per share equal the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the Effective Date (the “Inducement Warrant”). The Inducement Warrant was immediately vested and exercisable with respect to 2,500,000 shares and the balance will vest at the rate of 312,500 shares quarter-annually for eight (8) quarters commencing ninety (90) days from the Effective Date. Mr. Harris is also entitled to participate in any and all pension, insurance, bonus arrangement, stock purchase, stock incentive plans and other plans or arrangements for the benefit of any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees.

 

The initial term of the Consulting Agreement is five (5) years from the Effective Date. The Consulting Agreement will renew automatically for an additional five (5) year period unless terminated in writing by either party sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the current term. Either party may terminate the Consulting Agreement upon a material breach by the other party which remains uncured for thirty (30) days following delivery of written notice to the breaching party.

 

The Consulting Agreement also includes customary confidentiality and indemnification covenants on behalf of each party.

 

In February 2013, the Company borrowed $100,000 from Mr. Harris pursuant to a promissory note, which remains outstanding as of the date of this Report. The promissory note is unsecured, accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum and matures on the earlier of August 29, 2014 or the closing of a single transaction (whether debt, equity or a combination of both) that results in aggregate gross proceeds of $1,500,000. Since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, in addition to the Inducement Warrant, the Company has issued to Mr. Harris five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,300,000 shares of common stock, such warrants having an exercise price of $0.25 per share. Such warrants were issued in exchange for services rendered to the Company by Mr. Harris. In addition, as of the Effective Date, Grandparents Insurance Solutions LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, and Preferred Employers Group, Inc., an entity of which Mr. Harris is the sole director and Chief Executive Officer (“PEG”), entered into a consulting agreement pursuant to which PEG will provide certain insurance-related consulting services to the Company in exchange for payment of $50,000 per year. The consulting agreement has an initial term of two (2) years.
