The 5,764,619 shares of Common Stock reported to be beneficially owned consist of (i) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued to FIL on November 14, 2008 and (ii) 3,764,619 shares of Common Stock issuable under certain conditions pursuant to the Agreement dated November 13, 2008 (the “Agreement”), by and between the Company and FIL and shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise by FIL of a Warrant dated November 13, 2008 (the “Warrant”), granted by the Company to FIL.  The beneficial ownership reported reflect the shares of Common Stock issuable within 60 days as of November 14, 2008, subject to a contractual limitation on the number of shares that may be owned by FIL without the provision of certain notice as set forth in the Agreement, which limits FIL to holding no more than 5,764,619 of the aggregate number of shares of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company until 65 days following a notice from FIL to the Company increasing the number of shares issuable.  The holdings are calculated assuming an issuance of Common Stock issuable under the Agreement and the Warrant on November 19, 2008, assuming share prices as determined by the terms and conditions of a potential second purchase and sale of Common Stock under the Agreement or a potential exercise by FIL under the Warrant.
 
The shares of Common Stock of the Company reported to be beneficially owned consist of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock issuable under the Agreement and upon exercise of the Warrant held in one or more accounts managed by FAM (the Accounts), for FIL.  FAM has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of all shares of Common Stock issuable under the Agreement and underlying the Warrant in the Accounts.  By virtue of Mr. Fletchers position as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FAM, Mr. Fletcher may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, such shares, and, therefore, Mr. Fletcher may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such Common Stock.
