Under the SEDA, the issuer is prohibited from selling shares to YA II to the extent that it would cause the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by YA II and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the shares of the issuer. In addition to the direct beneficial ownership set forth above, each reporting person is also deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of additional shares of Common Stock that the issuer has the right to sell to the reporting persons under a SEDA within 60 days of the date of this filing such that each reporting person is deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of an additional 3,047,011* shares of Common Stock.
