(the "Company") effected the conversion of all Series A1 Voting Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B1 Voting Convertible Preferred Shares, and Series C1 Convertible Preferred Shares (the "Convertible Preferred Shares") into Class A, Class B and Class C Convertible Common Shares (the Convertible Common Shares"), respectively. The conversion was mandatory under the terms of the Description Stock relating to the Convertible Preferred Shares and the Common Convertible Shares. Immediately prior to the conversion, Robert Stavis (the "Reporting Person") held 55.742 Series C1 Voting Convertible Preferred Shares, which converted into 42.043 Class C Convertible Common Shares.

All Series A2 Voting Convertible Preferred Shares, Series B2 Voting Convertible Preferred Shares and Series C2 Voting Convertible Preferred Shares (the "Series 2 Preferred Shares") are subject to prior conversion if transferred to unaffiliated third parties and may be converted at any time by the holder. According to their terms, all Series 2 Preferred Shares will mandatorily convert into Common Convertible Shares on April 4, 2008, if not converted by the holder prior to that date.
