Table of Contents

     Whether the Reporting Persons purchase any additional Shares or dispose of any Shares, and the amount and timing of any such transactions, will depend upon the Reporting Persons’ individual continuing assessments of pertinent factors, including the availability of Shares for purchase at particular price levels, the Issuer’s and the Reporting Person’s businesses and prospects, other business investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, economic conditions, stock market conditions, money market conditions, the attitudes and actions of the Board of Directors and management of the Issuer, the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons’ interests in the Issuer and other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons. Depending upon their individual assessments of these factors from time to time, the Reporting Persons may change their present intentions as stated above, including determining to acquire additional Shares (by means of open market or privately negotiated purchases) or to dispose of some or all of the Shares held by them or under their control.
     Except as stated above, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals of the types referred to in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

East Peak, JGE and Mr. Edwards share the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of such Shares.
     JGE Capital. Because of its position as the sole general partner of East Peak, JGE Capital may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, be deemed to be beneficial owner of the 3,639,000 Shares beneficially held by East Peak; therefore, JGE Capital may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 6.24% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Because of his position as the control person of JGE Capital, Mr. Edwards may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, be deemed to be beneficial owner of the 3,639,000 Shares beneficially owned by JGE Capital; therefore, Mr. Edwards may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 6.24% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
     (c) During the period beginning sixty (60) days prior to May 22, 2008 and ending on the date of this filing, East Peak has purchased in open market transactions on the New York Stock Exchange shares of Common Stock as set forth in Schedule I attached hereto.
