The Reporting Person will provide upon request by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer or any security holder of the Issuer full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.
On October 25, 2010, the Reporting Person transferred 1,593,622 of the 1,679,394 shares directly held by him into the John Sperling Revocable Trust dated November 26, 2007, of which the Reporting Person is the trustee and beneficiary. Following the transfer, the Reporting Person indirectly owned such transferred shares through the John Sperling Revocable Trust. The transfer resulted in a change only in the form of beneficial ownership and, per Rule 16a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act (the "Act"), was not a reportable transaction under Section 16 of the Act.
By self as trustee and beneficiary of the John Sperling Revocable Trust dated November 26, 2007. It should be noted that due to clerical error this trust had previously been misidentified as John Sperling Revocable Trust dated January 31, 1995. The trust's name has been revised accordingly.
