Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
Closing on Private Placement.  On September 30, 2009, we issued and sold an aggregate of $250,000 principal amount secured promissory notes bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum to “accredited investors,” as defined in regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  On the same date, we also issued and sold a $250,000 principal amount secured promissory note bearing interest at a rate of 10% per annum to James A. Hayward, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The promissory notes and accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall automatically convert into shares of our common stock on September 30, 2010 at a conversion price of $0.121732857 per share (“Automatic Conversion Price”), which is equal to a 20% discount to the average volume, weighted average price of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to issuance, and are convertible into shares of our common stock at the option of the noteholders at any time prior to such automatic conversion at a price equal to the greater of (i) 50% of the average price of our common stock for the ten trading days prior to the date of the notice of conversion and (ii) the Automatic Conversion Price.  In addition, any time prior to conversion, we have the irrevocable right to repay the unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the promissory notes on three days written notice (during which period the holders can elect to convert the promissory notes).  The promissory notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and are due and payable in full on September 30, 2010.  Until the principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the promissory notes are paid in full, or converted into shares of our common stock, the promissory notes will be secured by a security interest in all of our assets.
 
We claim an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, for the private placement of the promissory notes pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act because each of the promissory notes was made in a sale by the issuer not involving a public offering.
 
Arjent Services LLC, a registered broker dealer firm, (the “Placement Agent”), acted as our placement agent with respect to the private placement of the promissory notes to the accredited investors.  In connection with the sale of promissory notes to the accredited investors, we paid the Placement Agent commissions and discounts aggregating $37,500.
