Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

The shares of common stock purchased by the Offshore Fund and the Tech Fund were purchased with working capital in open market purchases. The aggregate purchase cost of the 1,791,045 shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Offshore Fund and the 2,319,150 shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Tech Fund are approximately $15,222,124.17 and $22,148,236.33 respectively, excluding brokerage commissions.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Offshore Fund and the Tech Fund each acquired the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it for investment purposes. The Offshore Fund and the Tech Fund expect to continually monitor and re-evaluate its investments in the shares of Common Stock, and each retains the right to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, to dispose of such securities of the Issuer at any time, or to formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or the securities of the Issuer, to the extent deemed advisable in light of their general investment polices, market conditions or other factors.
