**** IMPORTANT ****

Dear Basic Earth Shareholder:

Enclosed you will find additional proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting scheduled to be held on December 15, 2009.

Your Board of Directors believes the proposals listed on the proxy are important for its shareholders and the Company, and they recommend that shareholders vote in favor of all of the proposals presented in this proxy.

To date, although the majority of votes cast have been in favor of the proposals, we have not yet obtained the necessary majority of outstanding shares vote needed to pass Proposals 3, 4 and 5.

Because of the high vote threshold necessary to pass these proposals, we have determined the need to send this reminder notice out to shareholders that have not voted. We urge you to vote your proxy immediately. As a shareholder, you have the ability to vote over the internet or telephone, and we urge you to do so now to save the company further expense. Instructions on how to vote over the phone or internet are enclosed in this package.

Your shares cannot be represented at the Annual Meeting unless you either sign and return the enclosed voting form or vote by telephone or over the internet.

If you sign and return the enclosed form without indicating a choice of “for”, “against” or “abstain”, your shares will be voted as recommended by your Board of Directors.  Adjournments of the Annual Meeting result in additional costs to the Company, so please vote today to ensure that we achieve the necessary votes.

If you have questions or need help voting your shares, please call our proxy solicitation firm, Morrow & Co., LLC. at 800-607-0088.

Regards,
 
/s/ Ray Singleton
Ray Singleton
President and Chief Executive Officer
