On August 14, 2009, the Partnership acquired beneficial ownership of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which the Partnership acquired from the Issuer in a private placement transaction that closed on August 14, 2009. In that same private placement that closed on August 14, 2009, the Partnership also acquired warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"). Such warrants contain a contractual provision that disallows their exercise to the extent that the Partnership and its affiliates would, as a result of such exercise, beneficially own more than 4.9% of the Common Stock of the Issuer. Accordingly, the Partnership does not have beneficial ownership of the Common Stock for which the Warrants may be exercised.

 

The percentages herein are calculated based upon 33,042,764 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of (a) 27,042,764 shares issued and outstanding, as disclosed by the Issuer in a prospectus supplement dated August 13, 2009, and (b) 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued in the private placement transaction that closed on August 14, 2009.
