Since Abramson, Holdco, TAMI and TCC comprise a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, each Reporting Person is reporting beneficial ownership in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13d-5(a). As of the close of business on July 3, 2007, the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of Common Stock, including an aggregate of 4,444,044 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants held by the Reporting Persons, was 13,332,132. Of this amount, nil shares of Common Stock were held by Abramson directly; nil shares of Common Stock were held by Holdco directly; 3,072,000 shares of Common Stock were owned by advisory clients of TCC and held in accounts managed by TCC; and 10,260,132 shares of Common Stock were owned by advisory clients of TAMI and held in accounts managed by TAMI. The foregoing amounts include nil, nil, 1,024,000 and 3,420,044 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants owned by (or in client investment accounts managed by), Abramson, Holdco, TCC and TAMI, respectively. In respect of the common stock warrants reported herein, each warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at a price of $0.65 per share prior to December 21, 2008. All of the Common Stock (including the common stock warrants) was acquired pursuant to a private placement of securities.

Each Penalty Warrant is exercisable for no additional consideration to acquire 1/10th of one share of Common Stock and 1/20th of one common stock warrant. Each Penalty Warrant will be deemed to be exercised on the business day following November 15, 2007 in the event that the Issuer does not satisfy the Qualification Condition on or before November 15, 2007.
