Demand for Payment by Noteholder. The Company borrowed the sum of $3,000,000 from Alembic Limited and has reduced the principal balance of the loan over time to $1,000,000. The due date for the loan was September 30, 2007. It has asserted that as of October 19, 2007, there was an aggregate of $235,549 of accrued plus unpaid interest outstanding with respect to the loan. On October 31, 2007 Alembic delivered a letter to the Company stating that an event of default has occurred due to failure to pay the loan when due, and demanding that in the event the default is not cured within ten days following the date of the letter, the entire obligation evidenced by the loan will be due and payable. The Company has not as of the date of filing of this Form 8-K cured the above default.
