Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.

On December 22, 2011 the Company entered into an amendment agreement with the Purchasers of convertible promissory notes of the Company purchased pursuant to a Promissory Note Purchase Agreement executed in March, 2007 and amended from time to time thereafter. The amendment agreement provides that each Purchaser will waive their respective right to be paid any and all interest accrued or to be accrued pursuant to the promissory notes issued under the Note Purchase Agreement. The amendment agreement further provides that two of the Purchasers convert a portion of the amounts owed to them into common stock of the Company at $2.50 per share as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement. In particular, Robert Gipson converted $5,827,585 of debt to 2,331,034 shares and Thomas Gipson converted $1,344,827 of debt into 537,931 shares.

In a related transaction, on December 27, 2011 the Company agreed to purchase 2,331,034 shares of common stock held by Robert Gipson and 537,931 shares of common stock held by Thomas Gipson at a purchase price per share of $0.0025 for a total of $7,172. The closing price for the Company’s stock on December 22 was $0.20 per share. The price per share paid by the Company to the sellers represented a 99% discount to the market price for the shares.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
