Estrella, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, for the purchase of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock.  Mr. Clark purchased 1,333,333 shares and Mr. Estrella purchased 133,333 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.075 per share for a total purchase price of approximately $100,000 and $10,000, respectively, which shares shall be restricted pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder.  Mssrs. Clark and Estrella also received Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an additional 1,333,333 shares and 133,333 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at a purchase price of $0.21 per share, which warrants expire in three years.  The Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis.  Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is authorized to sell up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 of Common Stock and Warrants, $110,000 of which was purchased at the closing on November 2, 2011.  

Also on November 2, 2011, the Company entered into conversion agreements (the “Conversion Agreements”) with Mr. Estrella, Barbara M. Johnson, the Company's Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, and several employees (collectively, the "Employees"), to convert $140,000 of accrued cash salary into shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the "Equity Conversion").  In connection with the Equity Conversion, the shares of Common Stock were valued at $0.075 per share and an aggregate of 1,866,667 shares were issued to the Employees, which shares shall be restricted pursuant to the Securities Act, and warrants to purchase an additional 1,866,667 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.21 per share and a term of three years, were also issued to the Employees.  The warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis.

No underwriting discount or commissions were paid in connection with the Agreement or the Equity Conversion discussed above.

The Common Stock and the Warrants sold pursuant to the Agreement and issued pursuant to the Equity Conversion were issued as restricted securities under an exemption provided by Regulation D, Rule 506, promulgated under the Securities Act, and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
