4. Based on information set forth in the issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 17, 2008 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, each reporting person may be deemed to have become the beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the issuer's common stock during the issuer's quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 as a result of repurchases of shares of common stock by the issuer. Beneficial ownership is reported herein as of March 17, 2008.
