DISTRIBUTION PLAN

The Fair Fund is comprised of the following amounts: PCS was ordered to pay a total of $144,262.58 in disgorgement and prejudgment interest to the Commission, and G&C was ordered to pay a total of $450,001.00 in disgorgement and civil penalties to the Commission. The Commission established a Fair Fund pursuant to Section 308 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for these payments (the "Fair Fund"). The funds received by the Commission have been deposited at the U.S. Treasury Bureau of Public Debt for investment in short-term U.S. Treasury securities and obligations. Payments from other respondents in this administrative proceeding may be added to the Fair Fund if so ordered by the Commission. Other than these items and interest earned on the invested funds, it is not anticipated that the Fair Fund will receive additional funds.

For the Commission, by its Secretary, pursuant to delegated authority.

Elizabeth M. Murphy
Secretary
