The 500,000 shares of Common Stock into which outstanding amounts are convertible under the May 2010 $1.00 Notes include: (i) 260,000 shares into which amounts payable under a May 2010 $1.00 Note by the issuer to the QP Fund are convertible and (ii) 240,000 shares into which amounts payable under a May 2010 $1.00 Note by the issuer to the LP Fund are convertible. The principal amount of the May 2010 $1.00 Note issued to the QP Fund was $260,000 and the principal amount of the May 2010 $1.00 Note issued to LP Fund was $240,000.
(4) Pursuant to a series of note issuances, on October 21, 2010, the issuer issued to each of the QP Fund and the LP Fund a 10% PIK-Election Convertible Note (collectively, the "October 2010 $1.00 Notes," each, an "October 2010 $1.00 Note") on substantially the same terms and conditions.
