Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously reported, we did not make the quarterly interest payments due on January 31, 2009 and April 30, 2009 under our Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Notes”). In addition, we did not make the quarterly interest payment due today, July 31, 2009. Each failure to make an interest payment constitutes an event of default under our Notes.

We have not received a notice of default or acceleration from the note holder as of the date of this filing, which is required prior to any of the principal amount becoming due and payable as a result of such defaults. In addition, pursuant to a Forbearance Agreement, dated July 28, 2009, the holder of our Notes agreed to forbear, for a certain period of time and subject to certain conditions, from exercising its rights under the Notes to accelerate the payment of all or part of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest as a result of, among other things, our failure to make the interest payments due on January 31, 2009, April 30, 2009 and July 31, 2009. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any event of default, all amounts outstanding under the Notes bear interest at a default rate of 15.0% per annum.
