See response to Item 5.02 (e) below. SECTION 5 -CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS. (d) On September 18, 2009, the Board of Directors increased the size of the Board of Directors from three to five, as provided in Article III, Section 2 of the Bylaws of the Company. The Board then appointed Joon Won Jyoung and Johnathan Chee to the Board of Directors to fill the vacancies created thereby. Joon Won Jyoung has owned several private companies in South Korea since 1997. Between 1992 and 1996 he was President of Sneakers Classic Ltd., and between 1987 and 1991 he was Chairman of Empire State Bank in New York. Between 1972 and 1982 he was Chairman of Downtown Mart, a distribution company in New York and Virginia. Mr. Jyoung received a B.S. in Mathematics from Seoul National University and an M.S. in Statistics from the University of Connecticut. Johnathan Chee is an attorney, and has operated the Law Offices of Johnathan Chee, in Niles, Illinois, since August 2007. Between 1998 and 2007 he was an attorney with C&S Law Group, P.C., in Glenview, Illinois.

(e) On September 21, 2009 the Company entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, its Chief Executive Officer, David Yun Lee, Chief Operating Officer, and Yong Bae Won, Vice President-Engineering. Each Change of Control Agreement provides for a lump sum payment to the officer in case of a change of control of the Company. The term includes the acquisition of Common Stock of the Company resulting in one person or company owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares, a significant change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company during any 12-month period, a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction resulting in the transfer of ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets. The Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim is for three years and calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control; the agreement with Mr. Lee is for two years and calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control; and the agreement with Mr. Won is for two years and calls for a payment of $1 million upon a change of control. ITEM 5.03 AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR. On September 18, 2009, the Board of Directors approved three changes in the Bylaws of the Company. 2 The first change is to provide that special meetings of the shareholders may be called by the Board of Directors, by the President, or by any two directors. This language is consistent with the requirements of Section 78.310 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Before such amendment, the Bylaw also provided that the president of the Company was to call a special meeting upon written demand by shareholders holding at least 10% of the outstanding shares. The second change is to eliminate the ability of shareholders to act by written consent in lieu of a shareholders meeting. It provides that all actions by shareholders must be taken at a meeting duly noticed and convened. The existing bylaw had permitted action by written consent of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares. The third change is to provide an "advance notice" provision for shareholder proposals and director nominations at shareholder meetings. Under this bylaw, as amended, a shareholder who seeks to nominate directors at a shareholders meeting or submit a proposal for vote at the meeting must give the Company prior notice, must identify the nominees or the proposal, and (in the case of director nominees) must submit certain information about the nominees. Also, the shareholder submitting the nominees or proposal, as the case may be, must disclose certain information, including such shareholder's identity, shareholdings, and any interest in the proposals. The foregoing descriptions are qualified by reference to the amendments themselves, which are attached as Exhibit 3.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Article II, Section 2 of the Bylaws of this corporation is amended to read in its entirety as follows: Section 2. Special Meetings. Unless otherwise prescribed by statute, special meetings of the shareholders may be called for any purpose by the president, by the board of directors, or by any two directors. 2. Article II, Section 12 of the Bylaws of this corporation is amended to read in its entirety as follows: Section 12. Action by Shareholders By Written Consent Prohibited. All actions required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders shall be taken at a duly convened meeting of shareholders. No shareholder action may be taken by written consent. 3. Article II of the Bylaws is amended by adding a new Section 14, as follows: Section 14. Advance Notice of Nominations of Persons for Election to the Board of Directors and Other Matters (a) Nominations. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of the shareholders only (A) pursuant to the corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (B) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (C) by any shareholder of the corporation who was a shareholder of record of the corporation at the time the notice provided for in this Section is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section. (b) Notice. For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (C) of Section 14(a), the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary and any such proposed business other than the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors must constitute a proper matter for shareholder action. To be timely, a shareholder's notice must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting (provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day before such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation). In no event will the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. Such shareholder's notice will set forth: (A) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14a-11 thereunder (and such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (B) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the Bylaws of the corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (1) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the corporation's books, and of such beneficial owner, (2) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner, (3) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting to propose such business or nomination, and (4) a representation whether the shareholder or beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group that intends (x) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the corporation's outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (y) otherwise to solicit proxies from shareholders in support of such proposal or nomination. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the corporation. (c) Increase in Number of Directors. Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (b) above to the contrary, if the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting is increased and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least 100 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, a shareholder's notice required by this Section will 2 also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it is delivered to the Secretary of the corporation at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation. (d) Special Meetings of Shareholders. Only such business will be conducted at a special meeting of the shareholders as will have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the corporation's notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of the shareholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the corporation's notice of meeting (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (B) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors will be elected at such meeting, by any shareholder of the corporation who is a shareholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section is delivered to the Secretary, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election, and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section. If the corporation calls a special meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any shareholder entitled to vote in such election of directors may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation's notice of meeting, if the shareholder's notice required by paragraph (b) is delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day before such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event will the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder's notice as described above. (e) Eligibility. Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14 will be eligible to be elected at an annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the corporation to serve as directors and only such business will be conducted at a meeting of the shareholders as will have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the Board, as chairman of the meeting, will have the power and duty (A) to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14 (including whether the shareholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made or solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in support of such shareholder's nominee or proposal in compliance with 3 such shareholder's representation as required by this Section 14 if any proposed nomination or business was not made or proposed in compliance with the Section 14, to declare that such nomination will be disregarded or that such proposed business will not be transacted. (f) Compliance With Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 14. Nothing in this Section 14 will be deemed to affect any rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. 4 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
