The reported securities are included within 23,400,000 units of Issuer securities (the "Units") purchased by the Schuler Family Foundation for $0.50 per Unit pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated August 4, 2014 by and among the Issuer, the Schuler Family Foundation and certain other qualified institutional and individual investors. Each Unit consists of one share of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") and one one-thousandth (1/1,000) of a share of the Issuer's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock").
2. The Schuler Family Foundation may be deemed to be a member of a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) with Jack Schuler and his wife, Renate Schuler but disclaims Section 13(d) beneficial ownership over the securities held by Mr. Schuler and Mrs. Schuler.
3. Each share of Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 1,000 shares of Common Stock upon the effectiveness of the filing of an amendment to the Issuer's charter to increase the number of shares of the Issuer's authorized Common Stock to not less than 150,000,000.
Remarks:
This report shall not be deemed an admission by any of the reporting persons that they are or may be members of a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d). Exhibit 24.1- Power of Attorney
