(&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because it did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June&nbsp;30, 2010 (the &#147;June Form 10-Q&#148;). The
letter from Nasdaq states that the Company&#146;s failure to timely file the June Form 10-Q serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company&#146;s securities from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and states that the Company should present
its views with respect to the additional deficiency to Nasdaq in writing no later than August&nbsp;18, 2010, which the Company intends to do. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:10%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As previously disclosed, the Company received a staff determination letter from the Nasdaq on May&nbsp;11, 2010 stating that, because the

stock would be suspended from the Nasdaq Global Select Market at the opening of business on May&nbsp;20, 2010 unless the Company requested an appeal of the Nasdaq staff&#146;s delisting determination. Also as previously disclosed, the Company
requested an appeal of the Nasdaq staff&#146;s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and the hearing before the Hearings Panel occurred on June&nbsp;24, 2010. Also as previously disclosed, on July&nbsp;23, 2010, the Company received
from Nasdaq the written decision of the Hearings Panel, which states that the Hearings Panel has determined to continue the listing of the Company&#146;s shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to the condition that the Company, on or
before November&nbsp;8, 2010, shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2009, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2009, and its
