The shares of common stock were obtained by Socius CG II, Ltd. (“Socius CG”) pursuant to an Order Approving Stipulation for Settlement of Claim issued on September 27, 2010 (“Order”) by the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District, in Case No. BC446149.

 

For purposes of calculating the percent of class, the reporting persons have assumed that there were a total of 54,210,159 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the shares, such that 5,950,000 shares of common stock represent approximately 9.9% of the class subsequent to such issuance.

 

Socius CG is not a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.  Voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares is exercised by Ward Jensen, the Vice President-Trading of Socius CG.  However, the Order provides that, for so long as Socius CG or any of its affiliates hold any shares of common stock of the issuer, Socius CG and its affiliates are prohibited from, among other actions: (1) voting any shares of issuer common stock owned or controlled by Socius CG or its affiliates, or soliciting any proxies or seeking to advise or influence any person with respect to any voting securities of the issuer; (2) engaging or participating in any actions or plans that relate to or would result in, among other things, (a) acquiring additional securities of the issuer, alone or together with any other person, which would result in Socius CG and its affiliates collectively beneficially owning or controlling, or being deemed to beneficially own or control, more than 9.99% of the total outstanding common stock or other voting securities of the issuer, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets, (d) changes in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, (e) material changes in the capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer, (f) any other material change in the issuer’s business or corporate structure, (g) actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person or entity, (h) causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted, (i) causing a class of equity securities of the issuer to become eligible for termination of registration; or (3) any actions similar to the foregoing.  These prohibitions may not be modified or waived without further order of the Court.

 

Socius Capital Group, LLC (“Socius Capital”), Mr. Peizer and Ms. Peizer directly own no shares of the issuer.  Ms. Peizer is the sole ultimate beneficial owner of Socius Capital.  By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Socius Capital, Mr. Peizer and/or Ms. Peizer may be deemed to beneficially own and/or control the shares owned by Socius CG.  Socius Capital and Mr. Peizer disclaim beneficial ownership and control, and Ms. Peizer disclaims control, of any of the securities covered by this statement.
