Based on 15,951,070 outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2007. As of June 1, 2007, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned $60,000,000 in principal amount of the Issuer’s 1.0% Guaranteed Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”), collectively convertible into 2,500,000 shares (the “Note Shares”) of Issuer’s common stock.. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is equal to 1,770,372, or 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares, of the Issuer’s common stock, because pursuant to an Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of June 1, 2007, by and among Citadel Equity Fund Ltd., the Issuer and certain of the Issuer’s subsidiaries and stockholders, in no event shall the Reporting Persons be entitled to convert any portion of the Notes for any number of Note Shares that, upon giving effect to such conversion, would cause the aggregate number of shares of the Issuer’s common stock owned by the Reporting Persons to exceed 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock immediately after giving effect to such conversion.
