The Preferred Stock issued to OEPX pursuant to the Exchange Agreement has an initial liquidation preference of $25,316,480.88 and pays quarterly dividends at an annual rate of 14.375%, which dividends may be paid in cash or in additional shares of Preferred Stock at the Issuer's election. The Issuer is required to redeem all of the then outstanding Preferred Stock on January 23, 2014. The Issuer may, in certain circumstances, pay a portion of the liquidation preference by delivering up to 4,568,527.88 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (subject to anti-dilution adjustments). If the Warrant described in Table II becomes exercisable, this portion of the liquidation preference shall no longer be payable. The Preferred Stock is not convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. |

Following the receipt of Shareholder Approval, the Warrant is exercisable by OEPX at any time. If Shareholder Approval is not obtained at the next shareholder meeting of the Issuer, the Warrant will automatically terminate. The Warrant will expire on the earlier of (i) the failure to receive Shareholder Approval and (ii) August 18, 2019. The inclusion of the Warrant herein shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Reporting Person beneficially owns such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise. |
