On April 18, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Loan and Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 8, 2009 (“Original Agreement), with Mr. William Lampson and Anne Rettig, the Personal Representative of estate of Mr. Diehl Rettig, Deceased, whereby the remaining balance on the promissory note dated May 8, 2009 under the Original Agreement of approximately $990,000, which was due May 8, 2011, is to be repaid in twelve monthly principal payments of approximately $82,500 plus accrued interest, starting May 8, 2011, with no change in interest payable of LIBOR plus 4.5%, with LIBOR at least 1.5% under the Original Agreement.
