The Convertible Notes are secured by a lien upon the Company’s accounts receivable and general intangibles and a pledge of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which shares of Common Stock have been issued as treasury stock, which does not affect the Company’s net stockholders’ deficit.
2.
The Company pledged all of its tangible and intangible assets as security for each of the Secured Bridge Loans. However, this security interest in the Company’s assets is subordinate to the security interest granted the Convertible Notes described in Footnote 1.
