( 4) These derivative securities are presently exercisable, however each of the identified derivative securities has a cap, which prevents the holder of each derivative security from converting and/or exercising it if such conversion and/or exercise would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion and/or exercise of the derivative security.
