Pursuant to an Order Approving Stipulation for Settlement of Claims between Ironridge Global IV, Ltd. (“IV”) and the issuer on August 17, 2011, in settlement of $260,695.20 accounts payable of the issuer owned by IV, IV is entitled to 100,000 shares of the issuer’s common stock plus that number of shares equal to the claim amount and reasonable attorney fees divided 70% of the volume weighted average price as reported by Bloomberg over a period of time beginning on the date shares are received into IV’s account and ending on the date on which the aggregate trading volume of the issuer’s common stock is equal to $1,042,708.80.  Based on the issuer’s $0.08 closing share price on August 26, 2011, that would equate to approximately 4,933,843 shares.  At no time may the reporting persons collectively own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
 
For purposes of calculating the percent of class, the reporting persons have assumed that there were a total of 81,762,984 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of shares to IV, such that 4,933,843 shares issued to IV would represent approximately 5.7% of the outstanding common stock after such issuance.

 
 

 

IV is not a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.  Voting and dispositive power with respect to shares of common stock owned by IV is exercised by David Sims, Vice President.  However, for so long as IV or any of its affiliates hold any shares of common stock of the issuer, they are prohibited from, among other actions: (1) voting any shares of issuer common stock owned or controlled by them, or soliciting any proxies or seeking to advise or influence any person with respect to any voting securities of the issuer; (2) engaging or participating in any actions or plans that relate to or would result in, among other things, (a) acquiring additional securities of the issuer, alone or together with any other person, which would result in them collectively beneficially owning or controlling, or being deemed to beneficially own or control, more than 9.99% of the total outstanding common stock or other voting securities of the issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets, (d) changes in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, (e) material changes in the capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer, (f) any other material change in the issuer’s business or corporate structure, (g) actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person or entity, (h) causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted, (i) causing a class of equity securities of the issuer to become eligible for termination of registration; or (3) any actions similar to the foregoing.
 
Each of  IGP and Messrs. O’Neil, Kreger and Kirkland disclaims beneficial ownership or control of any of the securities covered by this statement.  IGP and Messrs. O’Neil, Kreger and Kirkland directly own no shares of the issuer.  However, by reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, IGP or Messrs. O’Neil, Kreger and Kirkland may be deemed to beneficially own or control the shares owned by IV.  Messrs. O’Neil, Kreger and Kirkland are each managing directors IV, and managing directors, members and one-third beneficial owners of IGP.  IGP is a stockholder and beneficial owner of IV.
