The note will bear interest at the prime rate of interest and will be payable in equal quarterly payments over a four year period commencing on January 1, 2008.

Acceptance: Acceptances have been received which would result in the issuance of 39,562,741 (assuming no withdrawals) at a Unit Price of $5.8763.
