Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 22, 2011 the Company sold 2,588,235 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase
2,588,235 shares of common stock at $4.25 per share for total cash proceeds to the Company of
$10,999,998.75 to Very Hungry LLC, an affiliate of Hexagon Investments. The warrant is
exercisable at any time through November 22, 2012. We granted piggy-back registration rights for
the shares purchased and issuable upon exercise of the warrant.
Also on November 22, 2011 we entered into a royalty agreement with Grandhaven Energy, LLC, another
affiliate of Hexagon Investments, whereby we sold Grandhaven an overriding royalty interest of 1%
of the gross proceeds received by the Companys subsidiary, American West Potash, or AWP, from the
extraction of potash from its existing land holdings for $25,000 cash. If (i) the Arizona State
Land Department declines to issue any lease to AWP with respect to any state exploration permit, or
(ii) the Arizona State Land Department terminates any state exploration permit, or (iii) the
Arizona State Land Department refuses to consent to the assignment of any royalty interests in any
Arizona state lease, or requires any reduction of or imposes any condition on such royalty
interests as a condition of approving an assignment of such royalty interests or approving any
royalty reduction or other action with respect to a state lease, or (iv) if AWP has not been issued
all of the state leases and conveyed to Grandhaven all royalty interests in all of AWPs Arizona
state leased premises on or before March 1, 2013, Grandhaven shall have the option to receive
substitute royalty interests from us in the same number of acres in portions of our non-Arizona
state properties, in a percentage sufficient to compensate Grandhaven for the reduced royalty
interests in the affected state lease. If AWP has not been issued any Arizona state leases as of
the date that AWP conveys assignments of the royalty interest in the non-Arizona state properties
Grandhaven may elect to receive in substitution an assignment of a 1.388% royalty interest in all
of the non-Arizona state leased premises. If we do not deliver assignments of the royalty interest
from AWP to Grandhaven by December 31, 2013, Grandhaven has the option, at anytime thereafter, to
purchase shares of our common stock at $4.25 per share in exchange for the surrender by Grandhaven
of royalty interests for which assignments have not been obtained, valued at their fair market
value at that time.
At the closing of the financing all of the Companys outstanding convertible secured notes
converted into common stock as follows:

Richard Merkin received a cash payment of $2,000,000 in connection with these transactions in
accordance with his previous agreements with the Company. In connection with this financing
Richard Merkin agreed to amend his agreements with the Company to terminate his ability to nominate
a director to our board of directors, terminate his right to receive additional shares of common
stock each time he sold shares for below $3.00 per share, and to eliminate several negative
covenants. Also in connection with this financing COR Capital agreed to terminate its right to
receive additional shares of common stock each time it sold shares for below $3.00 per share.
Hexagon Investments owns, directly and through its affiliate Very Hungry, 3,868,775 shares of our
common stock (10.3% of our outstanding shares) and warrants to purchase an additional 6,692,402
shares of our common stock. Scott J. Reiman, Hexagon Investments president, is a director of the
Company. Upon conversion of his note, Richard Merkin owns 10,537,383 shares of our common stock
(27.9% of our outstanding shares) in the name of his affiliate, Central Valley Administrators, Inc.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.
Issuance of the shares and warrant described above was not registered under the Securities Act of
1933. The issuance of the shares and warrant was exempt from registration, pursuant to Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. These
securities qualified for exemption since the issuance securities by us did not involve a public
offering and the purchasers are all accredited investors as defined in Regulation D. The offering
was not a public offering as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons
involved in the sale, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities
offered. In addition, these shareholders have the necessary investment intent as required by
Section 4(2) since each agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that
such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act. This restriction
ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore
not be part of a public offering. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the
requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D for
this transaction.
