(a-b) The aggregate number and percentage of Common Shares to which this Amendment No. 2 relates is 812,900 Common Shares, constituting approximately 4.2% of the Common Shares outstanding, based upon 19,146,952 Common Shares outstanding as of July 26, 2013, as reported by the Issuer on its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013.
