(OTCBB:FGWC) announced today that it has entered into a funding agreement for $2 million in convertible notes, with warrants to purchase up to an additional $5.6 million in common stock of the Company. The initial $1.0 million investment has been received by the Company with the next $1.0 million to be received upon the effective date of a registration statement for the shares to be issued on conversion, or once the Company is able to issue equity securities that are exempt from resale registration requirements following the conversion of the Company into a business development company, whichever is earlier. Under the funding commitment, the promissory notes are convertible into common stock of the Company at a price per share equal to the lesser of 75 percent of an average of the lowest five-day bid prices for the shares during a 90-day look back period, or $0.05 per share. There are two types of warrants. The first warrants are for an additional $5 million over a three-year period at a price equal to $0.02 per share, with a Call Notice available to the Company to require the exercise of the warrants when the shares to be issued on exercise of the warrants have been registered with the SEC. In addition to the $0.02 Warrants, the Company also issued additional warrants to purchase $600,000 in common stock at $0.0135 per share. These warrants expire in five years.

"The funds will be used for general working capital and the continued rollout of an aggressive sales and marketing plan targeting university and municipal campuses.
