CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
During a portion of the year ended April 30, 2009, the Company used the offices of its Chief Executive Officer for its minimal office facility needs for no consideration. No provision for these costs has been provided since it has been determined that they are immaterial.
The Company’s Enversa division receives administrative support from its former parent company, Internet University, Inc. (“Internet University”). Included in such administrative support are human resources, accounting, information technology and facilities services. Enversa operates from office space provided by Internet University and utilizes furniture and equipment provided by Internet University in such office space. The costs of such services have been billed to Cornerworld and are reflected in the income statements in the total amount of $256,862 and $264,796 for the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The line of credit bears interest at 8.00% per annum and is secured by a second priority security interest in CornerWorld’s membership interests in Enversa, a first priority security interest in all of Enversa’s assets and in all products, proceeds, revenues, distributions, dividends, stock dividends, securities and other property, rights and interests that Cornerworld and Enversa receives or is at any time entitled to receive.
