(ii)

Financing Warrants to purchase 12.233 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for a nominal exercise price; and

(iii)

0.0225 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a per Unit price of $0.271063, all such shares to be acquired directly from their current holder, HCP-FVA.

Each Eligible Participating Stockholder purchased Units pursuant to a subscription agreement (each, a “Subscription Agreement” and collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”) among the Issuer, HCP-FVA and such Eligible Participating Stockholder. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Eligible Participating Stockholders purchased (i) $520,000 of the Term Loan held by HCP-FVA due to the Financing’s oversubscription and (ii) 342,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by HCP-FVA at a per share purchase price of $12.05.
