* The Convertible Notes may not be converted, and the warrants are not exercisable, to the extent that the holder or any of its affiliates would own more than a maximum of 9.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Issuer after such conversion or exercise. The securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9) show the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon full conversion of the Convertible Notes, and full exercise of the warrants, and do not give effect to the foregoing limitations. Therefore, the actual number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the reporting person, after giving effect to these limitations, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9).
