Mr. Jeffries entered into the Plan for investment diversification.

Mr. Jeffries currently intends to sell up to an aggregate of 1,789,490 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan during the period beginning on September 23, 2010 and ending in February of 2012, at which time the Plan will terminate.
