Item 1.01       Entry into a Material, Definitive Agreement

Pursuant to a letter agreement dated December 15, 2014 with Carl E. Berg which he executed and provided to us on December 19, 2014, the agreement recognized that Carl and Mary Ann Berg 2011 CRT, Carl Berg Trustee, and Clyde Berg 2011 CRT, Carl Berg Trustee, will have provided $2.5 million of unsecured loans to us between November and December 2014. Pursuant to said letter agreement, we agreed that these unsecured loans may be sold, assigned or transferred to Clyde J. Berg, Carl E. Berg and/or Kara Ann Berg or any entity controlled by any of the aforementioned individuals in an combination of the aforementioned persons or entities. This letter agreement provides that if Mr. Carl E. Berg or any permitted transferee purchases or otherwise acquires the $2.5 million of unsecured notes, that these notes shall be convertible at any time prior to maturity or redemption thereof at a conversion price of $.50 per share. For every $1.00 in principal converted, a five-year warrant to purchase one additional share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share will be issued. In the event that $2.5 million is timely converted on or before January 30, 2015, we will also issue as a bonus warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at $.50 per share over a five year period from the date of issuance.. We also agreed to grant Mr. Berg the right to lend us up to an additional $3.75 million of optional loans on the same terms and conditions described above on or before February 15, 2015. In the event such optional loan is converted into common stock on or before March 31, 2015, we will also issue as an additional bonus warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share from the date of issuance. We also agreed to grant him the right to lend us up to an additional $3.75 million on the same terms and conditions on or before May 15, 2015 and in the event such additional optional loan is converted into common stock on or before June 30, 2015, we will also issue bonus warrants to Mr. Berg to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share over a period of five years from the date of issuance. All bonus warrants contain cashless exercise provisions. The 2,000,000 bonus warrants described above assumes full funding of the $7.5 million optional loans and 100% conversion on or before the dates described above. In the event the amount of optional loans is less than $3.75 million in the aggregate, converted prior to March 31, 2015 and an additional $3.75 million converted prior to June 30, 2015, then the bonus warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares will be proportionately reduced. In summary, in the event all $10 million is provided to us, including an additional $7.5 million on a timely basis, subject to our right of acceptance or rejection in our sole discretion, and all loans are timely converted on or before the dates described above, we will have issued 20 million shares of common stock, 10 million common stock warrants at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, plus five year bonus warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $.50 per share with cashless exercise provisions pertaining to the bonus warrants. Also, in the event the $10 million of funding is completed, Mr. Berg has the right to appoint one independent member to the board, which nominee will be subject to normal background checks.
