The beneficial ownership of 10X Fund, L.P.

The beneficial ownership of 10X Fund does not include an additional 9,720,000 shares of Common Stock which 10X Fund could acquire upon conversion or exercise of additional shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, Class A-1 Warrants, Class A-2 Warrants and Class B Warrants which 10X Fund has the right to purchase from Issuer pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated February 12, 2009, as amended on August 11, 2009 (the “Purchase Agreement”), which 10X Fund disclaims ownership of at this time pursuant to Rule 13d-4. Specifically, for an additional investment in the Issuer of up to $1,215,000, the 10X Fund has the right to acquire from the Issuer 607,500 additional shares of Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock which would be convertible into 2,430,000 shares of Common Stock, Class A-1 Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 1,215,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share, Class A-2 Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 1,215,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share, and Class B Warrants exercisable to purchase an additional 4,860,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share.

In addition to the Reporting Person’s shared power over securities owned by 10X Fund, a nonprofit of which the Reporting Person is a director has invested $50,000 in 10X Fund, and therefore has a beneficial interest in securities owned by 10X Fund to the extent of its investment therein.
