the Company completed a private offering (the &ldquo;Offering&rdquo;) of 4,840,832 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock
(&ldquo;Common Stock&rdquo;) at a purchase price of $0.77 per share. The gross proceeds received in the Offering totaled $3,727,440.
Investors purchasing Common Stock in the Offering also received a detachable warrant (the &ldquo;Warrant&rdquo;) for the purchase
of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Offering.
The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.90 per share and expires five (5) years from the date of grant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company paid the
placement agent engaged in connection with the Offering a placement agent fee equal to $268,627, representing eight percent (8%)
of the aggregate purchase price paid by investors introduced to the Company by the placement agent. In addition to the placement
agent fee, the Company will issue to the placement agent a warrant (the &ldquo;PA Warrant&rdquo;) to purchase 87,217 shares of
the Common Stock, representing two percent (2%) of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering to investors introduced
to the Company by the placement agent. The PA Warrant will have an exercise price equal to $0.90 per share and will expire five
(5) years from the date of issuance. The PA Warrants will be in the same form as the Warrants sold in the Offering, except that
the PA Warrants will include a &ldquo;net issuance&rdquo; cashless exercise feature.</P>

not converted to Common Stock of the Company. Any funds in excess of the funds required to repay such unconverted debt will be
used by the Company for general working capital requirements.</P>

Private Placement
On September 12, 2012
the Company completed a private offering (the "Offering") of 4,840,832 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock
("Common Stock") at a purchase price of $0.77 per share. The gross proceeds received in the Offering totaled $3,727,440.
Investors purchasing Common Stock in the Offering also received a detachable warrant (the "Warrant") for the purchase
of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Offering.
The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.90 per share and expires five (5) years from the date of grant.
The Company paid the
placement agent engaged in connection with the Offering a placement agent fee equal to $268,627, representing eight percent (8%)
of the aggregate purchase price paid by investors introduced to the Company by the placement agent. In addition to the placement
agent fee, the Company will issue to the placement agent a warrant (the "PA Warrant") to purchase 87,217 shares of
the Common Stock, representing two percent (2%) of the number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering to investors introduced
to the Company by the placement agent. The PA Warrant will have an exercise price equal to $0.90 per share and will expire five
(5) years from the date of issuance. The PA Warrants will be in the same form as the Warrants sold in the Offering, except that
the PA Warrants will include a "net issuance" cashless exercise feature.
The Company intends
to use the net proceeds of the Offering to repay any of the currently outstanding secured convertible promissory notes that are
not converted to Common Stock of the Company. Any funds in excess of the funds required to repay such unconverted debt will be
used by the Company for general working capital requirements.
