Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 13, 2009, Registrant entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") with United States Environmental Response, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Seller”) pursuant to which the Registrant purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock (the "Shares")of California Living Waters, Incorporated ("CLW"), a privately held company. CLW owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Santa Clara Waste Water Company (SCWW") a California corporation. CLW's only operating subsidiary is SCWW.
In consideration for the sale, GEM issued six promissory notes (individually a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $9,003,000, and warrants to purchase 425,000 shares of GEM's common stock. Registrant is in default on the payment of the Notes.
As Security of the payment of the Notes, the Parties entered into a Security Agreement dated November 6, 2009, pursuant to which Registrant pledged the CLW Shares as security for the payment of the Notes to the Seller and Seller's designees. On March 1, the Registrant paid $250,000 to the Seller. On April 23, 2010, the Security Agreement was amended by an Amended Security Agreement (the "Amended Security Agreement").
Due to the events of default by the Registrant and pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Shares of CLW were sold during June 2010 to satisfy the obligations to the Sellers. The Registrant executed an agreement of settlement and release with the Seller and Seller's designees as of June 24, 2010.
The Registrant has entered into a Letter of Intent to execute formal agreements with Bio-Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (BESG) to manage their waste-to-energy operations in Pernambuco, Brazil, including the collection and processing of municipal solid waste and subsequent conversion to alternative energy. The management agreement will have a term of fifteen years.
