Explanation of Responses: |
1. The transactions reported on this Amended Form 4 were incorrectly reported as open market transactions on the original Form 4 filed on March 18, 2010. This amendment correctly reports those transactions as an exercise of a short put position (obligation to buy). |
2. Each of the reporting persons hereunder (individually, a "Reporting Person" and collectively the "Reporting Persons") may be deemed a memmber of a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act, with one or more of the other Reporting Persons. Although the Reporting Persons are reporting such securities as if they were members of a "group", the filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission by any Reporting Person that such Reporting Person is a beneficial owner of any securities other than those directly held by such Reporting Person. |
3. These shares are held directly by the James Douglas and Jean Douglas Irrevocable Descendants' Trust and indirectly by Kevin Douglas. Kevin Douglas and Michelle Douglas, husband and wife, are each a co-trustee of the James Douglas and Jean Douglas Irrevocable Descendants' Trust. |
4. These shares are held directly and jointly by Kevin Douglas and his wife, Michelle Douglas. |
