The Company has outstanding options to purchase 787,995 shares of Common Stock as of April 3, 2003. 2. Attached is a list of the Company's outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock as of December 23, 2002. Those warrants labeled "Series C Convertible" were originally warrants to purchase Series C Preferred Stock. Such warrants became warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company's outstanding Series C Preferred Stock in 2001. The number of shares of Common Stock for which such warrants are currently convertible is listed under the column titled "Anti-Dilution Adjustment". In connection with the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and pre-IPO anti-dilution adjustments to the Series C Preferred Stock, the exercise price for such warrants was reduced from $6.00 per share to $5.74 per share. Except for the warrant to purchase 1,193,546 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share issued to Briazz Venture, L.L.C. on March 6, 2003 pursuant to the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement dated March 5, 2003 (the "FFG Purchase Agreement"), no new warrants have been granted since the date of the attached list. See, however, paragraph 3 below. 3. On June 18, 2002, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to Laurus in the principal amount of $1,250,000. The amount of the Laurus convertible debt and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof fluctuate in accordance with the terms thereof, as amended through the date hereof. In January 2003, the Company and Laurus entered into an arrangement pursuant to which certain amounts under the convertible note were and will be converted into shares of Common Stock. As of April 2, 2003, the Company had issued 50,200 shares of Common Stock to Laurus upon conversion of portions of the convertible note pursuant to this arrangement, and the principal amount of the Laurus note (exclusive of interest) was $926,214. On March 4, 2003, the Company and Laurus entered into amendments to the Laurus note and to the warrant the Company issued to Laurus on June 18, 2002. These amendments have been delivered to the Lender and provide, among other things, for the reduction of the fixed conversion price of the note and the exercise price of the warrant to $0.10 per share. 4. 200,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan. Any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan shall be deemed to be issued "pursuant to outstanding options, warrants and convertible debt" for purposes of Section 3(v) of the Note.
