The aggregate principal amount of the 20% Notes is $57,252.34, and each 20% Note bears interest at a rate of 20% per annum. The outstanding principal under each 20% Note, and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon, is convertible at the option of the holder, in whole and not in part, into shares of the Company's common stock at the conversion price equal to $0.02 per common share.

The 10% Notes and the 20% Notes were issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Act. Accordingly, the 10% Notes and the 20% Notes are, and any shares of common stock issued upon conversion thereof will be, "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 under the Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

These transactions qualified for exemption from registration because among other things, the transactions did not involve a public offering, each investor was an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act, each investor took the securities for investment purposes and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
