On April 29, 2011, the registrant entered into an Exchange Agreement with Manchester Securities Corp., a New York corporation having an address at 712 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10019 (“Manchester”), pursuant to which, in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of an outstanding note held by Manchester, and claims for certain unpaid amounts thereunder, the registrant issued to Manchester an Exchange Note in the aggregate original principal face amount of $794,857.98. The Exchange note has a maturity of January 31, 2013.

Also on April 29, 2011 the registrant entered into a Consent Agreement with JGB Capital LP, JGB Capital Offshore Ltd., SAMC LLC, JGB Management Inc., and Manchester pursuant to which those entities waived certain rights and covenants contained in a Note Purchase Agreement and a Warrant Purchase Agreement with such entities pursuant to the transaction disclosed on Form 8-K filed by the registrant on March 4, 2011, to enable the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, including waiver of a prohibition on incurring additional indebtedness, and provisions under which issuance of such Exchange Note would constitute a default thereunder, a breach thereof, any anti-dilution adjustment thereunder, or any other similar adverse result for the Company.

Also on April 29, 2011, the registrant entered into Escrow Release Agreements with each of Manchester, and JGB Management Inc., a New York corporation, as agent for the JGB Holders, as defined therein. In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement referred to above (and as disclosed in the registrant’s Form 8-K dated March 4, 2011), the JGB Holders and Manchester each placed $3,125,000 into separate escrow accounts with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in connection with the purchase of an aggregate of $8,400,000 of secured notes (the “Notes”). Pursuant to the Escrow Release Agreements, $3,125,000 was released from escrow to Manchester and $3,125,000 was released from escrow to the JGB Holders. In connection with the release of such funds from escrow, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes was reduced from $8,400,000 to $2,150,000. All funds released from escrow were done in partial repayment of the principal amount of notes owed to such entities.

Except as set forth herein no other changes were made to the transaction disclosed on Form 8-K filed by the registrant on March 4, 2011.
