(“Quintessence”) holds Warrants to purchase 130,851 shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants. As per the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Warrant Agreement (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 20, 2009), the Warrants contain an issuance limitation prohibiting the holder of such Warrants from exercising the Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by such holder (together with certain related parties) of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock then issued and outstanding.
     QVT Financial LP (“QVT Financial”) is the investment manager for the Fund and Quintessence and has the power to direct the vote and disposition of the Common Stock held by the Fund and Quintessence. Due to the issuance limitation described above, the Fund may be deemed to beneficially own not more than 1,216,331 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and Quintessence may be deemed to beneficially own not more than 130,851 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Accordingly, taking into account the issuance limitation, QVT Financial may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate amount of not more than 1,216,331 shares of Common Stock, consisting of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants held by the Fund and Quintessence.
     The aggregate number of shares of which the Fund would be deemed to be the beneficial owner if the Fund fully exercised all of its Warrants is 1,223,264. The aggregate number of shares of which Quintessence would be deemed to be the beneficial owner if Quintessence exercised all of its Warrants is 130,851. The aggregate number of shares of which QVT Financial would be deemed to be the beneficial owner if the Fund and Quintessence fully exercised all of the Warrants is 1,354,115.
     QVT Financial GP LLC, as General Partner of QVT Financial, may be deemed to beneficially own the same number of shares of Common Stock reported by QVT Financial.

QVT Associates GP LLC disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock owned by the Fund and Quintessence, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
