In connection with the offering, the Company granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,679,500 additional shares from the Company at the same price. The Underwriters exercised this option in full on November 6, 2007.

Ward, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.
     In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
