        <footnote id="F1">Each share of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value of $100 (the &quot;Stated Value&quot;) and accrues dividends daily at an initial rate of 12% per annum, subject to two rate reductions of 4% each upon the occurrence of certain milestone events.  The Stated Value, as adjusted to give effect to such dividends, is referred to as the &quot;Accrued Value.&quot;  Each share of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder or, upon the occurrence of certain events, at the option of the Issuer, into a number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock determined by dividing the Accrued Value by the conversion price.  The Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock is not convertible to the extent that such conversion would result in the beneficial owner of such Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and its affiliates owning in excess of 19.99% of the Issuer's voting power.</footnote>
