(a), (b) Based upon the Issuer’s Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2009, there were 117,179,342 Common Shares issued and outstanding as of July 24, 2009.  The 9,646,882 Common Shares (the “Valence Shares”) beneficially owned by Valence and DESCO LP represent approximately 8.2% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding.2
 
Valence has the power to vote or to direct the vote of (and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Valence Shares.
