            Investment  include (i)  5,027,986  shares of Common  Stock owned by

            underlying the Common Stock Purchase  Warrant (the "Warrant") of the
            Issuer owned by  Midsummer  Investment.  The Warrant is  exercisable
            into an aggregate of 563,333  shares of Common Stock.  However,  the
            aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which the Warrant is
            exercisable, and which Midsummer Investment has the right to acquire
            beneficial  ownership,  is limited to the number of shares of Common
            Stock  that,   together  with  all  other  shares  of  Common  Stock
            beneficially owned by Midsummer Investment,  including the shares of

            into 35,000 shares of Common Stock and the remaining  528,333 shares
            of Common Stock underlying the Warrant are not currently exercisable
            unless and until the shares of Common  Stock  beneficially  owned by
            Midsummer  Investment  is less than  9.99% of the total  issued  and
            outstanding shares of Common Stock.

            Midsummer Capital serves as general partner and principal investment
            manager  to  Midsummer  Investment,  and as such  has  been  granted
            investment  discretion  over  Midsummer  Investment's   investments,
            including the  investment  in the Common  Stock.  As a result of its
            role  as  general  partner  and  principal   investment  manager  to
            Midsummer  Investment,  Midsummer  Capital  may be  deemed to be the
            beneficial  owner,  as defined in Rule  13d-3  under the  Securities
            Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), of the Common
            Stock held by Midsummer Investment.  However, Midsummer Capital does
            not have the right to receive  dividends  from, or the proceeds from
            the sale of,  the  Common  Stock held by  Midsummer  Investment  and
            disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock.

            2006, which includes the 51,089,229 issued and outstanding shares of
