Our
GTX California subsidiary offers a GPS and cellular location platform that
enables subscribers to track in real time the whereabouts of people, pets
or high valued assets through a miniaturized transceiver module, wireless
connectivity gateway, middleware and viewing portal. On March
18, 2010, GTX California entered into a four-year agreement with Aetrex
Worldwide, Inc. (“Aetrex”) pursuant to which we granted Aetrex the right
to embed our GPS tracking device into certain footwear products
manufactured and sold by Aetrex. Aetrex Worldwide, Inc.
is a global leader in pedorthic footwear and foot
orthotics. Aetrex has certain exclusive and non-exclusive
rights under this agreement. In order to retain its exclusive
rights, Aetrex must purchase 156,000 devices from us over the four-year
term of the license agreement commencing with 6,000 GPS tracking devices
in the first year, 25,000 devices during the second year, 50,000 during
the third year, and 75,000 devices during the fourth year. The
end-users of the GPS enabled Aetrex shoes, predominately seniors afflicted
with dementia, will also pay us a monthly service fee, a portion of which
will be shared with Aetrex.

Our
LOCiMOBILE, Inc. subsidiary has developed, and launched applications for
the iPhone, Android and other GPS enabled handsets that permit

three different platforms (iPhone, Blackberry and Google Android), have
been downloaded a total of over 250,000 times in 78 countries. There are
currently several new Apps in development, scheduled for release early in
the second quarter of 2010.

In May 2009, we entered into a
platform test agreement with Aetrex Worldwide, Inc., a global leader in
pedorthic footwear and foot orthotics, under which the companies agreed to
collaborate on the development and mechanical engineering of GTX Corp’s
patented PLS two-way transceivers and software systems to monitor the
locations of “wandering” seniors afflicted with dementia by embedding its
technology in Aetrex footwear. We successfully completed the
testing in March 2010 and entered into the License Agreement with Aetrex
Worldwide, Inc. under which we granted Aetrex the right to embed our GPS
tracking device into certain footwear products manufactured and sold by
Aetrex, and offer our middleware platform and viewing portal for Aetrex to
deliver a complete end-to-end tracking and monitoring solution to the
customers purchasing the GPS enabled

Under
Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who,
directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding,
relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes
the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment
power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of
shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than
one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power
to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be
beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the
shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the
date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage
ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to
include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only
such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the
percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does
not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with
respect to the number of shares of common stock actually
outstanding.
