(2) Comprised of an aggregate of warrants to purchase 92,615,384 shares of common stock and an aggregate of 67,307,692 shares of common stock underlying convertible notes held by Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P., Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P., and Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P. of which Deerfield Management Company, L.P. is the investment advisor.  The provisions of the warrants and convertible notes beneficially owned by the reporting person restrict the exercise of such warrants and the conversion of such convertible notes to the extent that, upon such exercise or conversion, the number of shares then beneficially owned by the holder and its affiliates and any other person or entities with which such holder would constitute a Section 13(d) “group” would exceed 9.985% of the total number of shares of the issuer then outstanding (the “Ownership Cap”).  Accordingly, notwithstanding the number of shares reported, the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares underlying such warrants and convertible notes to the extent beneficial ownership of such shares would cause all reporting persons hereunder, in the aggregate, to exceed the Ownership Cap.
