		Name: S. Jay Lawrence
		Title: Chief Executive Officer

On January 28, 2005 and February 1, 2005, the Company issued 8% senior convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000, due January 28, 2008 (the “Notes”) and common stock warrants, in an asset-backed financing. As of September 2, 2009, the Notes with an aggregate amount of $150,000 remain outstanding and are in default as a result of the Company’s failure to pay the Notes when due on January 28, 2008. The Notes purport to be secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and are secured by the personal pledge of shares of common stock of the Company by each of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s then President and current Chief Technical Officer. Pursuant to the Notes, upon the happening of any event of default, the holder may declare the principal amount, interest and any other amounts payable under the Note immediately due and enforce its rights under the security documents. In the event of any default in the payment of the obligations represented by the Notes, all sums payable on the Notes shall first be paid in full, with interest, before any other payment is made on any other indebtedness.

3Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Debentures

On April 30, 2008, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $3,017,270 of original issue discount secured convertible debentures, which are due to the holders on April 30, 2010, or earlier upon certain events of default (the “Debentures”) and common stock warrants. The Company’s failure to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 before June 15, 2008 constituted an event of default under the Debentures, which event resulted in the principal and accrued interest on the Debentures to become immediately due and payable in cash.

Pursuant to the terms of the Debentures, as a result of the event of default, the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures increased to a mandatory default amount of 130% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and became, at the option of the holder, immediately due and payable in cash by the Company. After five days of any continuing event of default, as described in the Debenture, interest is payable at a rate of 18% per year. As of September 2, 2009, the aggregate amount due to the holders of the Debentures, including principal at the mandatory default amount and accrued interest, was $4,771,635.

14% Secured Promissory Note due May 8, 2009

On April 8, 2009, the Company issued a 14% Secured Promissory Note to an existing accredited investor in the principal amount of $125,000, due on May 8, 2009, or earlier upon certain events of default (the “April Note”). Interest accrues on the April Note at a rate of 14% per year. The April Note is secured by the Company’s assets as described in a Security Agreement, dated May 22, 2007.

Pursuant to the terms of the April Note, if any event of default occurs, 115% of the principal amount, together with all accrued interest, will become immediately due and payable in cash at the holder’s election. After five days of the occurrence of an event of default, as described in the April Note, interest is payable at a rate of 22% per year. The Company’s failure to pay the amount due by May 8, 2009 constituted an event of default under the April Note. As of September 2, 2009, the aggregate amount due to the holder of the April Note, including accrued interest, was $155,288.

14% Secured Promissory Note due September 14, 2009

On August 14, 2009, the Company issued a 14% Secured Promissory Note to an existing accredited investor in the principal amount of $150,000, due on September 14, 2009, or earlier upon certain events of default (the “August Note”). Interest accrues on the August Note at a rate of 14% per year. The August Note is secured by the Company’s assets as described in a Security Agreement, dated May 22, 2007.

Pursuant to the terms of the August Note, if any event of default occurs, 115% of the principal amount, together with all accrued interest, will become immediately due and payable in cash at the holder’s election. After five days of the occurrence of an event of default, as described in the August Note, interest is payable at a rate of 18% per year. The filing of the voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code as described in Item 1.03 above constitutes an event of default under the August Note. As of September 2, 2009, the aggregate amount due to the holder of the August Note, including accrued interest was $173,536.
