( 2)  The price in column 4 is a weighted average price. The prices actually received ranged from $1.38 to $1.51. Upon request, the reporting persons will provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the SEC staff information regarding the number of shares sold at each price within the range.
( 3)  The price in column 4 is a weighted average price. The prices actually received ranged from $1.25 to $1.36.

( 4)  The price in column 4 is a weighted average price. The prices actually received ranged from $1.25 to $1.31. Upon request, the reporting persons will provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the SEC staff information regarding the number of shares sold at each price within the range.
( 5)  The Issuer withdrew the Form S-1 registration statement registering the offer and sale of the Common Stock underlying these warrants on April 3, 2015 as the discrepancy between the market price of the Company's common stock and the exercise price of the warrants made it unlikely that the warrants will be exercised. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, no issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of warrants shall be made unless there is a current prospectus covering such shares of Common Stock under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.
