[1] The fair value of the Company's common stock was derived implicitly from the Private Placement during April through June 2011 at $1.25 per Unit, wherein one Unit was comprised of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share.

[2] The fair value of the Company's common stock was derived implicitly from the public offering filed in March 2010 at $3.00 per share and from the terms of an underwritten offering contemplated in July 2010 at $6.00 per Unit that was filed in October 2010, with $2.756 per share being allocated to common stock using an iterative approach in order for the combined fair value of the common stock and warrants to equal the amount of consideration to be received in the offering.

[3] 0.00% for the first year after the grant date, and 2.50% for every three months thereafter.

[4] The fair value of the Company's common stock was derived implicitly from the public offering filed in February 2012 at $6.00 per share.
