The source of the total consideration provided by Mr. Atayan for the Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was (i) $3,008,365.07 of Mr. Atayan's personal funds, and (ii) a Promissory Note made by Mr. Atayan to the order of William F.

before selling to a third party any or all of the remaining 24,175 shares of Common Stock held by the selling group, the selling group would first offer to Mr. Atayan the opportunity to purchase the shares to be sold.  In addition, the selling group executed and delivered to Mr. Atayan their Irrevocable Proxy to vote all of the remaining 24,175 shares of Common Stock held by the selling group at any and all meetings of the stockholders of the Issuer upon any matter brought before the stockholders.</font></p>

Generally, the exercise of this option is permitted as follows: (i) no portion of the option may be exercised before December 12, 2007, (ii) up to one-third of the option (8,333 shares) may be exercised after December 12, 2007, (iii) an additional one-third of the option (8,333 shares) may be exercised after December 12, 2008, and (vi) the entire option may be exercised after December 12, 2009.
