In addition, as a result of the extension and the addition of AOLLC and

Investment Agreement. In order to effect the foregoing, the Investment Agreement
was amended as follows: (a) AOLLC and AOLTD were added as Purchasers under the
Investment Agreement; (b) the Purchasers are prohibited from extending the Offer
beyond July 28, 2008 except to provide for "subsequent offering periods," as
such term is defined in, and in accordance with, Rule 14d-11 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (c) the closing of the direct purchase of
shares from the Company shall occur on the third business day following the

reference to Amendment No. 1 to the Investment Agreement, which is attached
hereto as Exhibit (d)(6) and incorporated herein by this reference.
Further, AOLLC and AOLTD agreed to join in and become party to the
Registration Rights Agreement. In this regard, the parties entered into a
Joinder Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit (d)(7) and incorporated
herein by reference.
On June 30, 2008, Messrs. Serure and von Furstenberg approached William P.
Stewart and proposed that the agreements between Arrow and the Company be
amended to add one or more newly formed Arrow funds as purchasers in order to
facilitate the investment in the Company by Arrow's investors. Messrs. Serure
and von Furstenberg indicated that the formation of the funds would require an
extension of the Offer to allow time to form and organize the new entity or
entities. On July 2, 2008 draft documents to effectuate these changes and
various other technical amendments, including an amendment limiting Arrow's
right to make later extensions of the Offer, were circulated to Arrow and the
Company. On July 2, 2008, Messrs. von Furstenberg and Serure attended, by
telephone, a portion of a meeting of the Company's Special Committee to discuss
the proposed amendments. On July 7, 2008, Company and Arrow issued a joint press
release announcing these changes and an extension of the tender offer to 5:00
p.m. on July 28, 2008. The press release has been filed as Exhibit (a)(9)
hereto.
