On January 19, 2011, reporting person Tonaquint, Inc. (“Tonaquint”) and the Issuer entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Tonaquint purchased from the Issuer two Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) in the original principal amounts of $1,120,000 and $1,100,000.  Certain terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Notes are further described in Item 4 of the statement on Schedule 13G filed on December 22, 2011, by Tonaquint and the other reporting and filing persons with respect to their beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s common stock.

As of December 31, 2011, the aggregate balance under the Convertible Notes was $1,163,250.  The conversion price for each of the Convertible Notes is 70% of the average of the five lowest volume-weighted average prices (“VWAPs”) of the Issuer’s common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  The average of the five lowest VWAPs of the Issuer’s common stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2011, is $­0.253736.  Therefore, the Convertible Notes were convertible on December 31, 2011, into 4,584,489 shares of the Issuer’s common stock.
