Explanation of Responses:

1. In the event of a closing of one or more investments in which the Company receives gross proceeds of at least $10,000,000 in exchange for equity securities (a "Qualified Financing"), the holder of the Note has the obligation to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Note together with accrued interest into securities being issued in the Qualified Financing (the "Conversion Securities"), at a conversion price of 50% of the purchase price per share or unit of the Qualified Securities. Alternatively, if at the time of a Qualified Financing, the 50% conversion discount is greater than $0.04, then the Note may be converted at $0.04 per share. At the time of a Qualified Financing, the Company will issue warrants to purchase the number of common shares equal to 150% greater than the warrant coverage offered to investors in such Qualified Financing at an exercise price equal to the conversion price of the Note. The principal amount of the Note is $500,000 w/interest at 7% per annum.
