     (b) The Reporting Persons have the power to vote and dispose of the 1,812,901 shares of Common Stock held by the Master Fund.

     (c) Except for the transactions described in Item 4 hereof, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer during the past sixty (60) days.
