Item 3.

 

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4.

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of the securities of the Issuer identified in Item 1.

 

The information required by Item 4(a) - (c) is set forth in Rows 5 through 11 on the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto and is incorporated herein by reference for each such Reporting Person.

 

On February 14, 2007, Nakash Energy, LLC entered into a Subscription Agreement with the Issuer, pursuant to which, effective as of February 21, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), Nakash Energy purchased 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Purchased Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000. As additional consideration, Nakash Energy received five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 575,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

 

In addition, as of the Effective Date, Nakash Energy entered into a Loan Agreement with Henry Schneider, pursuant to which Nakash Energy loaned $4,731,388 to Mr. Schneider (the “Loan”). In order to induce Nakash Energy to enter into the Loan Agreement, Mr. Schneider entered into a Pledge Agreement with Nakash Energy, pursuant to which he pledged 1,515,700 shares of his Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Pledged Shares,” and together with the Purchased Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”)) as collateral security for his obligation to repay the Loan. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Nakash Energy has the right to vote the Pledged Shares so long as they are held in escrow under the Pledge Agreement. The Loan is further secured by an additional 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by Lawrence Schneider, which shares are not deemed to be beneficially owned by Nakash Energy.

 

On March 26, 2007, the Reporting Person appointed and granted an unrelated third party an irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Shares so long as they are held in escrow under the Pledge Agreement.

 

Based upon information received from the Issuer, as of the Effective Date, the Issuer had 19,250,208 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The percentage ownership set forth in Row 11 on the cover page for each Reporting Person hereto assumes the exercise of all of the Warrants beneficially owned by such Reporting Person.
