<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">After applying the valuation methodologies, a discount
was applied for lack of marketability attributed to the non-traded status of the Series B and the unregistered nature of the shares of
common stock underlying the Series B, the two-year prohibition against conversion, and the time required to register such shares of common
stock.</P>

<P STYLE="text-align: justify; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Based on the combined results of the valuation
methodologies and the application of the discount, the fair value of the Series B was determined to be $0.0304549 per share. As a result,
the purchase price of 985,063 shares of Series B is $30,000.</P>
