(b) The reporting person holds 1,825,749 shares directly for which he has sole voting and dispositive powers and 743,282 shares subject to proxies which he has sole voting powers. The nine persons granting the voting proxies continue to hold sole dispositive power on their shares. (c) There have been no transactions in the last 60 days. (d) The nine persons granting the voting proxies continue to hold sole dispositive power on their shares and retain the right to receive any dividends paid by the issuer.

The nine individual holders of Common Stock of the issuer have granted the reporting person an irrevocable proxy relating to shares individually owned for periods ranging from one to three years.
