The Letter Agreement also provided that Trinad may elect to satisfy any and all amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement at any time, and from time to time until the consummation of a Qualified Financing (as defined in the Note) with prior written notice to the Company, by delivery by the Company of a convertible promissory note and a warrant to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to one share of Common Stock for every $1.00 that is being so converted, on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the note and warrant issued to Trinad on June 26, 2009.  Under the Loan Agreement, Trinad had agreed to provide a loan to the Company in the principal amount of up to $1,250,000, plus any accrued interest thereon, as disclosed in those Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2007, November 15, 2007, April 24, 2008, August 7, 2008, May 6, 2009 and June 16, 2009, which are incorporated herein by reference.   Trinad may continue to make loans to the Company at any time and from time to time in accordance with the Loan Agreement.  The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
