Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On July 27, 2012, the Reporting Person provided to the Issuer a $2,000,000 secured revolving credit facility under the terms of a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”). At the Issuer’s option, all amounts due under the Credit Facility, including all principal, interest, and fees could be paid in shares of the Issuer’s common stock. In the event the Issuer elected to repay amounts due in shares of its common stock, the Reporting Person would pay the Issuer an amount equal to the number of shares issued multiplied by $0.001, which could be offset by any amounts owed to the Reporting Person by the Issuer under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility was filed as Exhibit 10.12 to the Issuer’s current report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2012.
On December 21, 2012, a total of $1,384,455.77 was outstanding under the Credit Facility, comprised of principal, interest and fees.

On December 21, 2012, a total of 1,300,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock were issued to the Reporting Person to satisfy $1,300,000 outstanding under the Credit Facility.

On August 23, 2013, the Issuer entered into the August 2013 Amendment to the Credit Facility dated July 27, 2012, as amended on December 21, 2012. The Issuer issued 100,000 restricted shares of the Issuer’s common stock to the Reporting Person as an amendment fee.
On August 23, 2013, the Issuer entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with the Reporting Person whereby the Reporting Person agreed to assume a $100,000 obligation of the Company in exchange for 200,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock.
On September 17, 2013, the Reporting Person, in exchange for 100,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, consented to a stalking horse proposal, upon the request of the Issuer, to sell certain assets of the Issuer.
On March 27, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Issuer elected to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility by 9 months and pay the 4% extension fee by issuing 200,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, at a price of $0.50 per share.

The shares issued to the Reporting Person (the “Shares”) are subject to a stock restriction agreement, dated July 31, 2012, which restricts the transfer of the Shares prior to the expiration of the earlier of (i) June 30, 2017 or (ii) the occurrence of a change of control of the Issuer (“Restriction Period”), other than under a registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission or in a privately negotiated transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, where the transferee has agreed to the transfer restrictions. Further, the Shares are subject to a repurchase right whereby any time prior to the expiration of the Restriction Period, the Issuer has the right to repurchase all or any portion of the Shares at a price per share equal to 150% of the Average Share Price (as defined in the Credit Facility) on the date of issuance to the Reporting Person.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The 200,000 Shares were acquired by the Reporting Person pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility because the Issuer elected to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility by 9 months and pay the 4% extension fee by issuing 200,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, at a price of $0.50 per share and are being held for investment purposes. The Reporting Person may acquire additional shares of the Issuer’s common stock pursuant to the conversion of future amounts due under the Credit Facility.

The Reporting Person has not pledged any securities of the Issuer nor does the Reporting Person hold any securities of the Issuer, other than as disclosed herein, subject to a contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities.
