Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)	Number and Percentage of Common Stock Beneficially Owned by Reporting Persons

The percentages of total shares set forth herein are based on the assumption that there are 71,274,761 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is 64,656,675, the number of shares of the Issuer outstanding as of November 20, 2011 according to the Form 10-Q/A filed by the Issuer on November 22, 2011, plus 6,618,086*, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by derivative securities of the Issuer owned by the Company as of May 4, 2012.

As of May 4, 2012, the Company owned 26,334,161 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock outright and had the right to acquire approximately 6,618,086* shares of Common Stock under the terms of the March 31, 2011 Convertible Note. Thus, the Company and each other Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 32,952,247* shares of Common Stock as of May 4, 2012, which represents 46.2% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. This number will fluctuate due to the fact that the number of shares that the Company may acquire under the March 31, 2011 Convertible Note will vary daily based on accrual of interest and payments made on the note by the Issuer.

(c)	Transactions in the Last Sixty Days
