7. Common Stock

On March 23, 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Debt Exchange Agreement, we issued 6,285,619 shares of common stock to the KFLP. See Note 9 — Convertible Revolving Notes Payable to Shareholder.

On June 5, 2012, and in conjunction with the Company’s execution and delivery of the Channel Agreement with Intrexon, the Company entered into a Stock Issuance Agreement which included certain registration rights, with Intrexon. On June 5, 2012, and pursuant to that Stock Issuance Agreement, Intrexon was issued 4,392,425 shares of the Company’s common stock, which was deemed consideration for the execution and delivery of the Channel Agreement. This resulted in the Company recording a non-cash expense of $5,798,001 during the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Under the terms of the Stock Issuance Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to Intrexon additional shares of its common stock based upon the achievement of certain milestones. See Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies.

The registration rights granted to Intrexon in the Stock Issuance Agreement by the Company consisted of “piggyback registration” rights which permit Intrexon to participate in any firm commitment underwritten offering of securities by the Company, subject to underwriter cutbacks and lockups. In addition, the Company is precluded from granting registration rights in connection with a private placement unless (i) all shares held by Intrexon are, at the time of such private placement, included on a registration statement, or (ii) the Company agrees, in connection with such private placement, to grant Intrexon the right to include on the registration statement a number of Intrexon’s Company shares equal to one half of the number of shares to be registered on behalf of the other holders or prospective holders.

Pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement, Intrexon is also entitled, at its election, to participate in future securities offerings of the Company that constitute “qualified financings” and purchase securities equal to 30% of the number of shares of common stock or other securities sold in such offering (exclusive of Intrexon’s purchase). For this purpose, a “qualified financing” means a sale of common stock or equity securities convertible into common stock in a public or private offering, raising gross proceeds of at least $1,000,000, where the sale of shares is either registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time of issuance or the Company agrees to register the resale of such shares.

Our former chief financial officer resigned on January 27, 2012 and as a result of such resignation, 5,000 shares of restricted common stock previously awarded but not yet vested at the time of his resignation were forfeited back to the Company.
