Item 4.

Ownership

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

As of September 4, 2009, the Partnership beneficially owned 13,476,214 shares of Common Stock. Of these shares, 2,055,000 consist of shares that the Partnership acquired from the Issuer in a private placement transaction that closed on September 4, 2009; 6,626,214 consist of Common Stock that the Partnership held before the September 4, 2009 transaction; and 4,795,000 underlie convertible notes with face value $479,500 that the Partnership acquired from the Issuer in that same private placement.

On September 4, 2009, the Partnership also acquired warrants to purchase 1,198,750 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”), which are exerciseable beginning on March 4, 2010. The Partnership also holds an additional 2,717,500 Warrants to purchase Common Stock and an additional convertible note with face value $547,635 which is convertible into 5,476,350 shares of Common Stock (the “April Note”). All such Warrants and the April Note contain a contractual provision that disallows their exercise to the extent that the Partnership and its affiliates would, as a result of such exercise, beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Common Stock of the Issuer. Accordingly, the Partnership does not have beneficial ownership of the Common Stock for which any of the Warrants or the April Note may be exercised.

The percentages herein are calculated based upon 163,745,061 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of (a) 133,745,061 shares issued and outstanding as of August 7, 2009, as reported on the Issuer’s prospectus filed with the SEC on August 14, 2009 and (b) 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued in the private placement transaction in which the Partnership participated, which closed on September 4, 2009.
