          EnterAspen directly owns and is the beneficial owner of 8,620,520 shares of the common stock of the Issuer (the “Common Stock”). Such 8,620,520 shares of Common Stock constitute approximately 5.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 151,593,519 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2009, as set forth in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 8, 2009. Of the 8,620,520 shares of Common Stock that EnterAspen directly owns, EnterAspen has (i) sole dispositive authority with respect to 7,870,520 shares, (ii) shared dispositive power with respect to 750,000 shares and (iii) shared voting authority with respect to all 8,620,520 shares.

          Aspen Advisors is the beneficial owner of 9,725,408 shares of the Common Stock. Of such shares beneficially owned by Aspen Advisors, 8,620,520 are directly owned by EnterAspen, a private client account of Aspen Advisors and 1,104,888 are owned by another private client. Of the 9,725,408 shares of common stock that Aspen Advisors beneficially owns, Aspen Advisors has (i) shared dispositive authority with respect to 1,854,888 shares and (ii) shared voting authority with respect to all 9,725,408 shares.

          An investment limited liability company with Owl Creek Capital as its managing member and Owl Creek Capital Management as its manager directly owns 2,327,006 shares of the Common Stock. Such 2,327,006 shares of Common stock constitute approximately 1.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 151,593,519 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2009. Of the 2,327,006 shares of Common Stock that such investment limited liability company directly owns, such investment limited liability company has (i) shared dispositive authority with respect to all 2,327,006 shares and (ii) shared voting authority with respect to all 2,327,006 shares. Owl Creek Capital Management and Owl Creek Capital, as the investment manager and managing member, respectively, of the investment limited liability company, may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of all 2,327,006 shares beneficially owned by such investment limited liability company.

          Mr. Hecht is the sole member of the managing member of Aspen Advisors and the managing member of each of Owl Creek Capital and Owl Creek Capital Management. Accordingly, Mr. Hecht may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of (i) the 9,725,408 shares of the Common Stock directly owned by EnterAspen and the other private client of Aspen Advisors and (ii) the 2,327,006 shares of the Common Stock directly owned by the investment limited liability company, through its account managed by Owl Creek Capital Management. In addition, Mr. Hecht directly owns and is the beneficial owner of an additional 599,200 shares of Common Stock over which he has sole voting authority and sole dispositive authority. Due to his direct holdings and status as sole member of the managing member of Aspen Advisors and the managing member of each of Owl Creek Capital and Owl Creek Capital Management, Mr. Hecht may be deemed to beneficially own 12,651,614 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 8.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 151,593,519 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2009.
