|   | (2  | ) | The applicable percentage of ownership for each beneficial owner is based on 40,233,355 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 15, 2013. In calculating the number of shares beneficially owned by a stockholder and the percentage of ownership of that stockholder, shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options or warrants, or the conversion of other securities held by that stockholder, that are exercisable within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for that holder; however, such shares are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other stockholder.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |

The holder currently holds 1,878 shares of Series B Preferred, 53 shares of Series C Preferred and 317 shares of Series D Preferred, which, in aggregate, are convertible into 38,040,948 shares of common stock.

The terms of the Series B Preferred, the Series C Preferred and the Series D Preferred and of each series of warrant, include provisions under which they are not convertible or exercisable if, upon conversion or exercise, the holder would then beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock. |
