        <footnote id="F1">Dr. Warrell has the opportunity to convert $1,950,000 of Senior Secured Convertible Debentures into 195,000,000 shares of Common Stock. However pursuant to an ownership cap in the debentures, Dr. Warrell is restricted from converting the debentures into shares of Common Stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by Dr. Warrell at such time and all shares of common stock that Dr. Warrell is beneficial holder of, would result in Dr. Warrell beneficially owning in excess of 9.999% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock outstanding at such time.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Dr. Itri has the opportunity to convert $300,000 of Senior Secured Convertible Debentures into 30,000,000 sares of Common Stock.
