Comment for Type of Reporting Person: Includes 6,618,016 shares of Common Stock (as defined in Item 2(a)) issuable upon exercise of the Reported Warrants (as defined in Item 4(a)). As more fully described in Item 4, the Reported Warrants are subject to the 9.99% Blocker (as defined in Item 4(a)) and the percentage set forth on row (11) gives effect to the 9.99% Blocker. However, rows (5), (7) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon the full exercise of the Reported Warrants and does not give effect to the 9.99% Blocker. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to the 9.99% Blocker, is less than the number of securities reported on rows (5), (7) and (9).

The information required by Item 4(a) is set forth in Row 9 of the cover page for the Reporting Person and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the terms of the Reported Warrants, the Reporting Person cannot exercise any of the Reported Warrants to the extent the Reporting Person would beneficially own, after any such exercise, more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "9.99% Blocker") and the percentage set forth in Row (11) of the cover page for the Reporting Person gives effect to the 9.99% Blocker. Consequently, at this time, the Reporting Person is not able to exercise all of such Reported Warrants due to the 9.99% Blocker. | |
