Explanation of Responses:
1. On the advice of the Company's auditing firm, the amount of salary added to the 2020 Convertible Obligation was reduced by $162,000.

The balance of the 2020 Obligation of $1,302,048.60 is convertible into 2,604,098 shares of common stock and 2,604,098 warrants to purchase one share of common stock.
