placement agent for the Issuer in private placements of the Issuer’s
securities in April 2003, May 2003, November 2003, December 2003,
and May
2005. In connection with such activities, Paramount’s designees (including
the Reporting Person himself) have received cash fees and warrants
(described in (d) below) to purchase securities of the Issuer. Although
no
agreement has been executed, it is possible that Paramount will be
engaged
by the Issuer to raise private capital in the future. The Reporting
Person
is chairman, Chief Executive Officer and sole stockholder of Paramount.
|
(b)
|
As
a result of its contractual rights resulting from the Reporting Person’s

per
share. The warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions providing
for
the adjustment of the exercise price upon the occurrence of certain
dividends, subdivisions, combinations or reclassifications. In addition,
the exercise price is subject to adjustment following the occurrence
of
any issuances of Shares or securities convertible into shares with
a sale
or exercise price (as applicable) that is lower than the current
market
price or exercise price under the
warrants.

combinations and reclassifications and certain of the Placement Warrants
will adjust upon the issuance of Shares or securities convertible
into
Shares with a sale or exercise price (as applicable) that is lower
than
the current market price or exercise price under the warrants.
