        <footnote id="F1">The terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock contain a limitation on conversion which prevents the Reporting Person
 from converting shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into Shares of Common Stock
if, after giving effect to the conversion, the Reporting Person would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding
 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person may elect to increase this limitation to 9.99%, 14.99%
or 19.99%, upon not less than 61 days prior written notice to the Company. Since the Reporting Person currently beneficially
 owns more than 14.99% but less than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the only
conversion limitation that applies to the Reporting Person is the 19.99% limitation. The Reporting Person disclaims
 beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest in
such securities.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock has no expiration date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Pursuant to a certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 12, 2009, among the Company, the Reporting Person and the
 other purchasers named therein, the Reporting Person purchased 2,174 &quot;Units&quot; at a
purchase price of $11.50 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of (i) one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) a
 warrant to purchase one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which warrant is exercisable until
May 12, 2010 and (iii) a warrant to purchase 10 shares of Common Stock, which warrant is exercisable until August 12, 2011.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The 30-Month Common Warrants contain a limitation on exercise which prevents the Reporting Person from exercising any
 Warrants if, after giving effect to the exercise, the Reporting Person would beneficially own
more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person may elect to increase this limitation to
 9.99%, 14.99% or 19.99%, upon not less than 61 days prior written notice to the Company. Since the
Reporting Person currently beneficially owns more than 14.99% but less than 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
 the only conversion limitation that applies to the Reporting Person is the 19.99% limitation.
