"Notes") and exercise of the Issuer's Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the

limitations, the number of shares of Common Stock which Alexandra would have the

upon exercise of the Warrants would be 1,333,333 shares. This amount excludes
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes in respect of
accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes at the time of conversion.
