The exercise price of the option is $18.00 per share.  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.  In no event may the option be exercised after December 12, 2016.  No consideration was provided by Mr. Atayan in connection with either the
grant of the option or the option becoming exercisable.</font></p>

Mr. Atayan has no contractual or other right or power to cause Spencer Street Investments to convert its shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock.  Although Mr. Atayan has included in this Amendment the 8,113 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, such inclusion resulted from an abundance of caution on the part of Mr. Atayan and reflects his potential interest in such shares.  </font></p>
