        <footnote id="F1">Vesting is a combined overlay of Time-based, Stock-Price-based, and Stock-Listing-based conditions. Time-based vesting is 1/3 vest after 1 year, with the balance monthly over next 2 years. Stock-Price vesting is a potential downward adjustment to the otherwise Time-based vested shares, where such adjustment is based on the rolling 45-day Volume Weighted Average Price set against specific price targets. Stock Listing vesting means that no otherwise Time-based and Stock Price-based vested shares are actually deemed as vested unless the Issuer's common stock is listed on a national securities exchange registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The ability to exercise is subject to both: i) vesting conditions (1) and ii) the Issuer's Board of Directors approving a requisite increase in authorized shares of common stock, after the date the grant was issued, that would apply to this grant</footnote>
