The Settlement Agreement provided for, among other things, the issuance by the Company to Juniper of 1,080,747 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) with an approximate value of $70,000,000 and a warrant to purchase 463,177 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”), which have an approximate value of $30,000,000, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Warrant will expire on January 3, 2015.
