On July 23, 2012, Phototron Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets (the “Assets”) of Donna Klauenburch and Tao Klauenburch (“Tao”), general partners doing business as Greners.com (collectively, “Greners”), related to the online retail business currently operated by Greners, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties on July 23, 2012 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). The Assets included equipment, finished goods, materials and supplies, contract rights, trademarks, domain names and implemented and operational components of software. In addition, the Company assumed certain of Greners’ liabilities which included Greners’ liabilities and obligations under its contracts and all express and implied warranties related to any materials supplied by Greners prior to the closing date.
In consideration for the Assets, the Company agreed to pay to Greners an aggregate of $450,000. Of the purchase price, $250,000 was paid in cash on the closing date and the remaining portion of the purchase price was paid in the form of a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) issued by the Company to Greners in the original principal amount of $200,000.
The foregoing summary of the Asset Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1.

The remaining outstanding principal balance and unpaid accrued interest is due and payable on July 23, 2013. If there is an uncured event of default, Greners may declare the entire principal and accrued interest amount immediately due and payable.
