The foregoing excludes (I) 172,649 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1 because Intracoastal Warrant 1 contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 1 to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliate, of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock and (II) 583,333 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a second warrant held by Intracoastal (“Intracoastal Warrant 2”) because Intracoastal Warrant 2 is not exercisable until on or after November 16, 2016 (and Intracoastal Warrant 2 contains a blocker provision under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Intracoastal Warrant 2 to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with the holder’s affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliate, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock).
