(1)	The Note is convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock (the "Common Stock"), and the Warrant is exercisable for shares of Common Stock, at any time at the option of the holder, subject to (i) a beneficial-ownership limitation that prevents conversion or exercise to the extent the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock after such conversion or exercise, and (ii) certain other limitations set forth in the Note and Warrant. The Warrant was issued to the Reporting Person in connection with, and as part of the consideration for, the purchase of the Note, for no additional consideration beyond the Note purchase price.
(2)	The securities are held of record by Sequence LifeScience, Inc. ("Sequence"). The Reporting Person is the indirect sole owner of Sequence and may be deemed to have voting and investment power over the securities held by Sequence. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by Sequence except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
