                    Portfolio Investment Company Limited ("PICL") directly
                    owns 2,178,223 Shares.  PICL has entered into a Management

                    Agreement") with WCA.  Pursuant to the Management Agreement
                    WCA acts as an investment manager for PICL whereby WCA has
                    the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the
                    Shares owned by PICL.  In addition, CLF, L.P. and CLF,
                    Ltd., which in the aggregate hold 219,175 Shares, have

                    governance, administration and operations, including the
                    acquisition, custody and disposition of the Shares. 
                    Therefore, WCA may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of
                    the Shares directly owned by these entities.  WCI is the

                    entities.  Messrs. Bohorquez and Vadapalas
                    disclaim beneficial ownership of these Shares, except to
                    the extent of their pecuniary ownership.
