Explanation of Responses:

1. The Convertible Subordinated Promissory Note (the "Note") accrues interest at 13% per annum and is convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock at the Conversion Price. "Conversion Price" means an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $3.01, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Note and (ii) the greater of (A) the consolidated closing bid price of the Issuer's common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market or such other principal market or exchange on which the common stock is then traded (the "Principal Market") on the applicable conversion date or, if such date is not a Trading Day, then on the Trading Date that is immediately prior to the applicable conversion date and (B) $1.00, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Note; provided, however, that the applicable Conversion Price shall in no event be lower than the price established by clause (ii) (continued)

2. above unless and until the Issuer obtains stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Note, including the conversion features and pricing thereof, in accordance with the applicable rules of the Principal Market (or any other applicable national securities exchange) (the "Stockholder Approval"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note is subject to additional limits on conversion until the Stockholder Approval is obtained, including an aggregate limit on the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of all notes issued to investors on August 19, 2024, including the Note (collectively, the "August Notes"), to 19.99% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of common stock and provisions to prevent a change of control as defined in the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. (continued)

3. The Issuer has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to secure the Stockholder Approval, including providing a recommendation FOR approval by the Issuer's board of directors. Holders of the August Notes will be permitted to vote on the Stockholder Approval, but may not vote any shares obtained from conversion of the August Notes prior to such vote. "Trading Day" means any day during which the Principal Market is open for trading.
