ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On October 26, 2012, Vanity Events Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Monroe Milstein, an accredited investor (the “Investor”), providing for the sale by the Company to the Investor of a 10% convertible debenture in the principal amount of $200,000 (the “Debenture”). The Debenture matures on the second anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest a rate of 10% per annum, payable on the Maturity Date. The Investor may convert, at any time, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) at a conversion price that is a fifty percent (50%) discount of the lowest closing price of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion as quoted by Bloomberg, LP or such other quotation service as mutually agreed to by the parties ( “Conversion Price”).
 
With the exception of the shares the Company is obligated to issue to previous investors, for as long as the Debenture is outstanding, the Conversion Price of the Debenture shall be subject to adjustment for issuances of Common Stock or securities convertible into common stock or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of less than the then-effective Conversion Price, on any unconverted amounts, such that the then applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted using full-ratchet anti-dilution on such new issuances subject, to customary carve outs, including restricted shares granted to officers, and directors and consultants.
 
The Investor has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Debenture such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by each of the Investor and its affiliates after such conversion does not exceed 4.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
The securities sold in the private placement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The investors are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
 
ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On November 7, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Philip Ellett to serve as chairman, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and director of the Company. The Agreement shall begin as of the Effective Date and shall continue on a month-to-month basis until terminated by either party upon providing the other party with 30 days prior written notice. The base salary under the Agreement is a monthly gross salary of $7,000.  In addition, the Company shall issue to Mr. Ellett Two Million (2,000,000) shares of common stock provided however that Mr. Ellett cannot transfer the shares and must return all shares to the Company if he terminates employment within two years from date of issuance. Mr. Ellett is entitled to participate in any and all benefit plans, from time to time, in effect for senior management, along with vacation, sick and holiday pay in accordance with the Company’s policies established and in effect from time to time.
 
The foregoing information is a summary of the agreements involved in the transactions described above, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, a copy of which are attached as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Readers should review such agreements for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with these transactions.

Exhibit 4.1
 
THIS DEBENTURE AND THE COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS DEBENTURE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THIS NOTE AND THE COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THIS DEBENTURE UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO VANITY EVENTS HOLDING, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
 
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Vanity Events Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to Monroe Milstein (the “Holder”) or its registered assigns or successors in interest, the sum of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), together with any accrued and unpaid interest hereon, on October 26, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”) if not sooner paid.
 
Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October 26, 2012, between Borrower and the Holder (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).
 
The following terms shall apply to this Debenture:
 
ARTICLE I
 
INTEREST & AMORTIZATION
 
1.1. Contract Rate.  Subject to Sections 3.10 and 5.7 hereof, interest payable on this Debenture shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%).
 
1.2. Payments.  Payment of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under this Debenture (the “Principal Amount”), together with all accrued interest thereon shall be made on the Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have the right to pay this Debenture at any time after providing the Holder with at least five (5) days prior written notice of its intent to repay the outstanding Principal Amount of the Debenture plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
 
ARTICLE II
 
CONVERSION REPAYMENT
 
2.1. Optional Conversion.  Subject to the terms of this Article II, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time until the Maturity Date, or thereafter during an Event of Default and to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as the “Conversion Shares.”  The “Conversion Price” shall mean fifty percent (50%) of the lowest closing price of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date as quoted by Bloomberg, LP or such other quotation service as mutually agreed to by the parties.  The Conversion Price may be adjusted pursuant to the other terms of this Debenture.
 
 
 
 
1

 
 
2.2. Conversion Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Debenture an amount that would be convertible into that number of Conversion Shares which would exceed the difference between the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of Borrower.  For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder.
 
2.3. Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion.  Subject to Section 2.2, this Debenture will be converted by the Holder in part from time to time after the Issue Date, by submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New York, New York time).  On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Borrower on the Conversion Date.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”).  A form of Notice of Conversion to be employed by the Holder is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.  Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, Borrower will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel to Borrower of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by physical delivery or crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within five (5) business days after receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by Borrower of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock, unless the Holder provides Borrower written instructions to the contrary.
 
2.4. Late Payments.  The Borrower understands that a delay in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder.  As compensation to the Holder for such loss, the Borrower agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late issuance of such shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of the Debenture, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date.  The Borrower shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
 
2.5. Conversion Mechanics.
 
(a) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Debenture shall be determined by dividing that portion of the Principal Amount and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Conversion Price.
 
(b) The Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the happening of certain events while this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
 
A. Reclassification, etc.  If Borrower at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Debenture, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.
 
2.6. Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period the conversion right exists, the Borrower will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion of this Debenture.  The Borrower is required at all times to have authorized and reserved such number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Debenture (based on the Conversion Price in effect from time to time) (the “Reserved Amount”).  The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Debenture shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Debenture.  The Borrower agrees that its issuance of this Debenture shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Debenture.
 
 
 
2

 
 
If, Holder submits a Notice of Conversion, and the Borrower does not have sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available to effect such conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Article II (a “Conversion Default”), subject to Section 2.2, the Borrower shall issue to the Holder all of the shares of Common Stock which are then available to effect such conversion.  The portion of this Debenture which the Holder included in its Conversion Notice and which exceeds the amount which is then convertible into available shares of Common Stock shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, not be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof until (and at the Holder’s option at any time after) the date additional shares of Common Stock are authorized by the Borrower to permit such conversion.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $1,000 per day (a “Conversion Default Payment”) to the date (the “Authorization Date”) that the Borrower authorizes a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to effect conversion of the full outstanding Principal Amount of this Debenture.  The Borrower shall use its best efforts to authorize a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) such time that the Holder notifies the Borrower or that the Borrower otherwise becomes aware that there are or likely will be insufficient authorized and unissued shares to allow full conversion thereof and (ii) a Conversion Default.  The Borrower shall send notice to the Holder of the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock and the Authorization Date along with the Holder’s Conversion Default Payments in immediately available funds.
 
Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages (to the extent in excess of the Conversion Default Payments) for the Borrower’s failure to maintain a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock, and Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available at law or in equity (including degree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief).
 
2.7. Issuance of New Debenture.  Upon any partial conversion of this Debenture, a new Debenture containing the same date and provisions of this Debenture shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Borrower to the Holder for the principal balance of this Debenture and interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject to the provisions of Article III, the Borrower will pay no costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Debenture.

ARTICLE V
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
5.1. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing hereunder are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
 
5.2. Notices.  Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and provided in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

5.7. Maximum Payments.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.  In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by Borrowers to the Holder and thus refunded to the Borrowers
 
5.8. Construction.  Each party acknowledges that its legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Debenture and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Debenture to favor any party against the other.

ARTICLE 7
SURVIVAL

Employee agrees that the provisions of Articles 7 and 8 shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement for any reasons, whether voluntary or involuntary, with or without cause, and shall remain in full force and effect thereafter.

ARTICLE 8
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

Therefore, Employee agrees that Employer shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to restrain Employee from committing any violation of the covenants and obligations referred to in this Article 8. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies Employer may have at law or in equity.
