In connection with the above-described conversions, the investors waived the conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation relating to the dividend and make-whole dividend payments on the shares of Series A Stock being converted such that the dividend and make-whole dividend payments could be made by the Company in shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation.

After the above-described issuances, the Company has 1,987,901 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

The above-described issuances have been determined to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, in which the investors are accredited and have acquired the securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.
