Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Each 1/1000 of a share of Series A Prefererd Stock is convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) $2.00 divided by the conversion price then in effect (which conversion price is initially equal to $2.00), plus (ii) an amount equal to all accrued but unpaid dividends on such fractional share dividend by the closing price of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of conversion, unless the Issuer has elected to pay the dividend amount on each upon conversion. The conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection such that, in the event the Issuer issues shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock at an effective per share price less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price shall be reduced to the effective price per share for such additional shares of Common Stock.
(2) The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible at any time at the option of the holder and will automatically convert into Common Stock upon (i) the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the conversion of the majority of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (iii) the second to occur of (A) FDA approval of the Issuer's NP101 product candidate and (B) consummation of a financing, licensing, partnership or other corporate collaboration resulting in gross proceeds to the Issuer of at least $22 million.
(3) The purchase price of each Unit (consisting of 1/1000 of a share of Series A Preferred Stock and one Warrant to acquire one share of Common Stock) was $2.00.
(4) The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection such that, in the event the Issuer issues shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock at an effective per share price less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price shall be reduced to the effective price per share for such additional shares of Common Stock. The full ratchet antidilution feature of the Warrants will terminate concurrently with the automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
