At that time, in full satisfaction of amounts owing from the Issuer to the Reporting Person for services performed on or prior to August 7, 2012, the Issuer issued to the Reporting Person 1,800,000 shares of common stock (the "Shares"). The Agreement provided that (i) the Shares shall be forfeited to the Issuer on August 1, 2022 unless any one of the following events or transactions have theretofore occurred: (x) a transaction that results in a "change in control" of the Issuer where the shareholders of the Issuer will receive primarily cash and/or marketable securities; (continued to footnote 4)

On September 18, 2013, the Reporting Person and the Issuer amended the the Agreement so that 100,000 of the Shares were released from the forfeiture provisions and transfer restrictions set forth in the Agreement.
