On July 22, 2002, Lawson, through Nyltiak, loaned $1,000,000 to the Issuer as an investment. This loan is evidenced by the Note. The Note is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of

In addition, provided that any amount remains outstanding on the Note or that Nyltiak beneficially owns any shares of the Issuer, Nyltiak has the right of first offer to purchase a pro rata share of all or any part of any New Securities (as defined) of Issuer, pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, which is Exhibit A to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein in response to this Item 4.

In the event of a default by the Issuer prior to the conversion of the Note, Nyltiak would be entitled to exercise its rights as a secured lender in accordance with the Note and Security Agreement, which are Exhibits B and D, respectively, to this Statement and are incorporated by reference herein in response to this Item 4. A change in the control of the Issuer, including the sale, conveyance, or disposition of all or substantially all of the Issuers assets, the Issuers effectuation of transactions disposing of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Issuer, or the acquisition of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the Issuer by one person, shall be considered an event of default at the option of the Holder of the Note, as set forth in Section 1.6(a) of the Note, which is Exhibit B to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein in response to this Item 4.
Nyltiak also has the right to receive notice of stockholders meetings and the taking of stockholder records, as set forth in Section 5.10 of the Note, which is Exhibit B hereto and is incorporated by reference herein in response to this Item 4. Under Section 11 of the Investor Rights Agreement, which is Exhibit C hereto and is incorporated by reference herein in response to this Item 4, Nyltiak has the right to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors or Committees of the Board of Directors and to receive copies of all materials the Issuer provides to its directors, and the Issuer is required to send Nyltiak financial information for each month, quarter, and year in a timely fashion.
