<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The redemption price will be $5.00 per share plus a
premium of 40% per share (i.e., $2.00 per share).&#160; In addition, each share will be entitled to
receive the regular $0.20 dividend which will have accrued for the first half
of the year.&#160; Thus, the redemption price
will be $7.20 per share (plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the
date of payment of the redemption price).</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the terms of each Preferred Stock certificate,
the holder also has the right to convert the Preferred Stock into Common Stock
of the Company; provided that such conversion is completed prior to the
redemption date.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Since all of the Preferred Stock is held in street
name, the Company will provide to Depository Trust Company (&#147;DTC&#148;) written
notice of this redemption, and DTC will make such notice available to all
beneficial owners of the Preferred Stock.&#160;
Each beneficial owner will be asked to contact DTC and advise as to
whether such owner is in agreement with the redemption or wishes to exercise
the election to convert the Preferred Stock into TGC Common Stock. In the event
such owner does not carry out such conversion prior to June&nbsp;30, such owner&#146;s
Preferred Stock will be automatically redeemed in accordance with the terms
stated above.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">From and after the date the Company pays the
redemption price to each such holder (regardless of whether or not the
certificates representing Preferred Stock have been turned in), the shares of Preferred
Stock represented by each holder&#146;s certificate or certificates will no longer
be deemed outstanding, the rights to receive dividends and distributions will
cease, and all of the rights of such holder of Preferred Stock in the Company
will terminate.</font></p>
