Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  On August 26, 2009, the Issuer effected a one-for-five reverse stock split. This amended report reflects the effects of the reverse stock split on the transactions effected by the reporting persons.
( 2)  These shares are owned directly by RutInvest GmbH and indirectly by Hans-Martin Ruter as the sole owner and Managing Director of RutInvest who has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all of the Shares held by RutInvest. As a result of the sale consummated on September 15, 2009, the holdings of RutInvest GmbH (and indirectly Hans-Martin Ruter) have fallen below ten percent of the issued and outstanding shares of the issuer.
