Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Based solely on our review of copies of reports filed by the directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of
more than 10% of our common stock required to file such reports pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, we believe that all of our directors and executive officers complied with the reporting
requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 except that Mr. Mahoney filed a Form 5 on
March 4, 2008 to report the sale of shares to Staples to satisfy tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting
of restricted stock on December 19, 2007 required to be reported on a Form 4.

We file annual, quarterly and current reports, as well as other information with the Securities and Exchange
