Replace (a)-(b) with the following:     

(a)-(b)     The Master Fund directly beneficially owns 5,246,605 Shares, representing 9.5% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer. The General Partner is the general partner of the Master Fund, and accordingly, the General Partner has the power to cause the Master Fund to vote, or to dispose of, securities which that entity beneficially owns. The Investment Manager is the investment manager of the Master Fund, and accordingly, the Investment Manager has the power to cause the Master Fund to vote, or to dispose of, securities which that entity beneficially owns. Therefore, for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (i) the Master Fund is the beneficial owner of, with shared voting and dispositive power over, a total of 5,246,605 Shares and (ii) each of the General Partner and the Investment Manager is the beneficial owner of, with shared voting and dispositive power over, a total of 5,246,605 Shares.

             Based upon the information as to outstanding shares as at October 31, 2006 contained in the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006, the Shares of which each of the Master Fund, the General Partner and the Investment Manager is the beneficial owner constitute 9.5% of the outstanding Shares.
