Explanation of Responses: |
1. This is a joint filing by Pacific International Group Holdings LLC ("Pacific") and Syd Ghermezian (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). (continued in footnote 2) |
2. (continued from footnote 1) On February 17, 2010, Pacific's outside counsel was advised by the Issuer that the Issuer had been instructed in writing by Lance Duncan to issue 535,713 shares of Common Stock to Pacific (the "Instructions"). Pacific's outside counsel was also advised by the Issuer that the condition precedent to such issuance (the settlement of certain claims by Mr. Duncan against the Issuer) had been met, and that such issuance would occur in the next few days. Mr. Duncan gave the Instructions to the Issuer in accordance with his obligations to Pacific under an agreement that Pacific entered into with Mr. Duncan and entities controlled by Lance Duncan on January 25, 2010 (the "Duncan Agreement"). Under the Duncan Agreement, upon the issuance to Pacific of such shares of Common Stock, Pacific is required to pay to Mr. Duncan a purchase price of $0.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $267,856.50. (continued in footnote 3) |
3. (continued from footnote 2) As such, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of such shares of Common Stock. The ultimate economic interest in Pacific is held by certain members of the Ghermezian family through their direct or indirect ownership of various entities that own Pacific. Syd Ghermezian is the Manager of Pacific. As such, Mr. Ghermezian may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner with shared voting and dispositive power of the shares of Common Stock that Pacific may be deemed to directly beneficially own. Therefore, Mr. Ghermezian may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner with shared voting and dispositive power of the 535,713 shares of Common Stock that Pacific agreed to acquire pursuant to the Duncan Agreement. (continued in footnote 4) |
4. (continued from footnote 3) Pacific and Mr. Ghermezian may be regarded as a group. However, Pacific and Mr. Ghermezian disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities owned directly or indirectly by each other, except for their respective pecuniary interests therein. Pacific and Mr. Ghermezian also disclaim membership in any group. This filing shall not constitute an acknowledgement that either Pacific or Mr. Ghermezian is part of any group. |
