(&#147;Series F Preferred Stock&#148;), at a price of $540,000 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $11,880,000 in cash, pursuant to a Series F Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the &#147;Purchase Agreement&#148;) between the
investors. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the transaction for general corporate purposes. Based upon the Company&#146;s planned operations for 2008, the Company believes the proceeds of the financing, existing cash on hand and other
sources of working capital will be sufficient to meet its capital needs in 2008. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Series F Preferred Stock has no voting rights, except
as required by Nevada law. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock is convertible into 100,000 shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock. However, the Company shall not effect any conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock or any other preferred
stock or warrant held by a holder of Series F Preferred Stock (a &#147;Holder&#148;), and no such Holder shall have the right to convert any Series F Preferred Stock or any other preferred stock or exercise any warrant held by such Holder, to the
extent that after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, the beneficial owner of such shares (together with such beneficial owner&#146;s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock
outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise. Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock have the right to participate in any dividends declared by the Company on the Company&#146;s Common Stock on an as-if-converted
basis. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In connection with this offering, the Company relied on the exemption provided by Section&nbsp;4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The investor is an &#147;accredited investor&#148; as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D. The investor was given access to
complete information concerning the Company. The investor has represented that it has acquired the shares for investment purposes. Restrictive legends were placed on the certificate issued to the investor. </FONT></P> <P

Company&#146;s Common Stock into which the shares of Series F Preferred Stock may be converted, as well as certain other securities held by the investor, for resale under the Securities Act by the investor as soon as practicable but in no event
later than 90 days after December&nbsp;17, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

to any such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the
Series&nbsp;F Preferred Stock, any other preferred stock and warrant held by a Holder, by such Holder and its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. By written notice to the Company, the
Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.9% specified in such notice; provided that (i)&nbsp;any such increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st)&nbsp;day
after such notice is delivered to the Company, and (ii)&nbsp;any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder providing such written notice and not to any other Holder. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
