expect, future, intend, plan or the negative if these terms and similar expressions as they

uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may
differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.
Section 1 Registrants business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 8, 2008, we signed a $10.0 million common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital
Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company. Concurrently with entering into the common
stock purchase agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Fusion Capital.
Under the registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement related to the
transaction with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) covering the shares that have
been issued or may be issued to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement. After
the SEC has declared effective the registration statement related to the transaction, we have the
right over a 25-month period to sell our shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, to Fusion
Capital from time to time in amounts between $80,000 and $1.0 million, depending on certain
conditions as set forth in the agreement, up to an aggregate of $10.0 million.
The purchase price of the shares related to the $10.0 million of future funding will be based
on the prevailing market prices of the Companys shares at the time of sales without any fixed
discount, and the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of shares to Fusion
Capital. Fusion Capital shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our
common stock on any business day that the purchase price of our common stock is below $0.05. The
common stock purchase agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any
additional cost to us. There are no negative covenants, restrictions on future financings,
penalties or liquidated damages in the agreement.
In consideration for entering into the common stock purchase agreement, we have issued to
Fusion Capital 2,480,510 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee. Also, we agreed to issue
to Fusion Capital an additional 2,480,510 shares as a commitment fee pro rata as we receive the
$10.0 million of future funding. We had previously issued 200,000 shares to Fusion Capital
(together with a nominal cash payment) as an expense reimbursement upon execution of the related
term sheet. The Company has currently reserved 37,480,510 authorized but unissued shares, in the
aggregate, for issuance pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement (including the 2,480,510
unissued commitment fee shares).
The foregoing description of the common stock purchase agreement and the registration rights
agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the common stock
purchase agreement and the registration rights agreement, a copy of each of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.10 and 10.11, respectively, and each of which is incorporated herein in its
entirety by reference.
