1 Includes 90,223 shares Mr. Herskowitz individually owns, including 83,348
shares underlying an option for Chase Financing Inc., to which Mr. Herskowitz is
President. The option is currently exercisable and the aggregate exercise price
for it is $1,000. Since Mr. Herskowitz is the President of Chase, he may be
deemed to be the beneficial owner of all such shares of common stock owned by
Chase.
2 Includes 10,750 shares Mr. Herskowitz owns with Johanna Guttmann as Tenants by
the Entirety. Prior to the merger between Ziopharm Oncology, Inc. and EasyWeb,

EasyWeb, Inc. Although neither Mr. Herskowitz nor Ms. Guttman, individually or
