The Warrants. On January 25, 2013, pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Registrant issued Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,318,363 shares of Common Stock. The Warrants are exercisable during the five-year period beginning January 25, 2013 at an exercise price of $1.125 per share. Additionally, the Registrant issued the placement agent a warrant to purchase 527,334 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.125 per share as compensation
