Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
The Fund previously acquired (i) 474,365,080 shares of Common Stock; (ii) a Secured Convertible Promissory Note due July 31, 2010 and convertible into 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock; (iii) a Secured Convertible Promissory Note due November 1, 2010 and convertible into 166,666,666 shares of Common Stock; (iv) a Secured Convertible Promissory Note due January 15, 2011 and convertible into 166,666,667 shares of Common Stock (each Secured Convertible Promissory Note , a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”); and (v) certain Warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “Warrants”).

The terms of each of the Issuer’s Warrants held by the Fund contain a conversion cap that prevents the Fund from exercising an amount of such Warrant to the extent the Fund would beneficially own (i) greater than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, and (ii) greater than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock.  Each Warrant, however, allows the Fund to waive such conversion caps upon 61 days’ prior notice and thereby obtain the ability to exercise such Warrant without the limitation imposed by the applicable conversion cap.  The Fund has not provided such notice with respect to any of the Warrants and therefore the Fund is not deemed to beneficially own any of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants.
 


 
The terms of each of the Issuer’s Notes held by the Fund contain a conversion cap that prevents the Fund from converting an amount of such Note to the extent that the Fund would beneficially own (i) greater than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock, and (ii) greater than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Stock.  Each Note, however, allows the Fund to waive such conversion caps upon 61 days’ prior notice and thereby obtain the ability to convert such Note without the limitation imposed by the applicable conversion cap.

On June 8, 2009 the Fund provided notice to the Issuer that it was waiving all applicable conversion caps with respect to the Note due January 15, 2011.  As a result of such waiver, on June 9, 2009 Vicis was deemed to beneficially own all 166,666,667 shares of Common Stock underlying such Note.

In the past 60 days, the Fund has not acquired any additional shares of Common Stock.

As a result of the delivery of notice by the Fund described above, when the 474,365,080 shares of Common Stock previously acquired by the Fund are aggregated with the 166,666,667 shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by the Fund as a result of the delivery by the Fund to the Issuer of notice waiving all conversion caps with respect to the Note due January 15, 2011, Vicis is deemed to beneficially own 641,031,747 shares of Common Stock.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Vicis, on behalf of the Fund, acquired the Common Stock for investment purposes in the ordinary course of its business pursuant to specified investment objectives of the Fund.

In connection with a July 31, 2007 purchase by the Fund from the Issuer of a certain Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, the Fund acquired the right, until such time as the Fund’s fully diluted ownership of the Issuer is less than 10%, to designate one member of the Issuer’s Board of Directors, or, in the event that the number of directors on the Issuer’s Board of Directors is greater than five (5), the right to designate the number of members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors equal to the product (such product rounded up) of (x) the Fund’s fully diluted ownership of the Issuer, multiplied by (y) the total number of directors of the Issuer.   The Fund designated Shad Stastney as its designee pursuant to this right, and Mr. Stastney was elected a director of the Issuer at the Issuer’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 27, 2008.  Information regarding Mr. Stastney and his experience and qualifications is provided below.

Mr. Stastney is the Chief Operating Officer and Head of Research for Vicis Capital, LLC, a company he jointly founded in 2004. Mr. Stastney also jointly founded Victus Capital Management LLC in 2001. From 1998 through 2001, Mr. Stastney worked with the corporate equity derivatives origination group of Credit Suisse First Boston, eventually becoming a Director and Head of the Hedging and Monetization Group, a joint venture between derivatives and equity capital markets. In 1997, he joined Credit Suisse First Boston’s then-combined convertible/equity derivative origination desk. From 1994 to 1997, he was an associate at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine and Moore in New York, in their tax and corporate groups, focusing on derivatives. He graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1990 with a B.A. in Political Theory and History, and from the Yale Law School in 1994 with a J.D. degree focusing on corporate and tax law. Mr. Stastney is currently a director of The Amacore Group, Inc., Ambient Corporation, MDwerks, Inc, Medical Solutions Management, Inc. and Master Silicon Carbide Industries, Inc.
 


 
Vicis and representatives of Vicis and the Fund have had discussions with senior management of the Issuer and may in the future have such discussions concerning ways in which the Issuer could maximize shareholder value.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, Vicis has no present plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Act, but will continue to review this position based upon further developments.

As permitted by law, Vicis may purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock or dispose of any or all of such securities from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, depending upon future evaluation of the Issuer and upon other developments, including general economic and stock market conditions.

The foregoing 641,031,747 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 72.2% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock (based upon 721,684,187 shares of Common Stock outstanding at June 1, 2009, as reported by the Issuer in its Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 1, 2009, 166,666,667 shares underlying the Note due January 15, 2011, and 641,031,747 shares of Common Stock deemed to be beneficially owned by Vicis).
