However, as more fully described in Item 4, the securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such blocker. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blocker, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (6), (8) and (9).  Without giving effect to the blocker, the Reporting Person would be deemed to beneficially own 12.44% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer.
