 the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion thereof would be based upon 80% of the volume weighted -averageprice (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock during the five trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion and, if Proposal No. 2 is approved, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of the outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock would by based upon (i) 95% of such VWAP in the case of Alternate Optional Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designation of the Series E Preferred Stock (the “COD”)) or (ii) 90% of such VWAP in the case of Alternate Triggering Event Conversion (as defined in the COD). Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split The Effective Time, if approved by stockholders and implemented by the Company, will be the date and time set forth in the Certificate of Amendment that is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved and the Board determines to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, the exact timing of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment will be determined by our Board.

11 If, at any time prior to the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, notwithstanding stockholder approval, and without further action by the stockholders, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of the Company’s stockholders to delay the filing of the Certificate of Amendment or abandon the Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Split may be delayed or abandoned. The Company reserves the right to abandon a reverse stock split without further action by our stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the filing with the Secretary of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Amendment, even if the authority to effect the Reverse Stock Split has been approved by our stockholders. By voting in favor of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, you are expressly also authorizing the Board to delay, not to proceed with, and abandon, the Reverse Stock Split if it should so decide, in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Beneficial Holders of Common Stock Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders through a bank, broker or other nominee in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for
