The Reporting Persons hold the reported securities indirectly through the Investment Entities. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. |
2. The warrants are exercisable at any time at the holder's election. THE REPORTING PERSONS AND THE INVESTMENT ENTITIES ARE PROHIBITED FROM EXERCISING THE SECURITIES LISTED IN TABLE II, IF AFTER SUCH EXERCISE THEY, AS A GROUP, WOULD BENEFICIALLY OWN MORE THAN 9.99% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK. |
3. The number of derivative securities listed in column 9 of Table II following the reported transaction is being corrected to reflect the number of Series E Warrants only. The derivative securities listed in column 9 do not include other warrants held by the Reporting Persons. This Form 4 amendment is also amending the Form 4 filed on 9/22/08 to reflect that the Reporting Persons are still subject to Section 16. |
