The terms of the engagement letter that the Company entered into on June 24, 2008 ("Engagement Letter") with FTI provided, among other things, for Brad Foster of FTI to serve as the Company's interim Chief Restructuring Officer. In his role as an officer of the Company Mr. Foster will report directly to our Chief Executive Officer. The Engagement Letter also provides for the services of other temporary employees and advisors to support Mr. Foster in his role.

In connection with the exploration of available debt restructuring alternatives, the Company has elected to cease making certain scheduled interest and/or principal curtailment payments while it attempts to negotiate modifications or other satisfactory resolutions from its lenders. The subject indebtedness represents a significant number of the Company's projects. The failure to make such interest and/or principal curtailment payments constitutes breaches of the terms of the loan agreements, some of which have reached maturity. If such breaches are not cured prior to the expiration of any applicable grace periods and such matured loans are not extended, then, under the terms of the loan agreements, the lenders may be entitled to charge an increased, or default, rate of interest and/or declare the principal amount to be immediately due and payable in full. The Company anticipates that it may be forced to cease making certain additional scheduled interest or principal curtailment payments in the near future if meaningful concessions are not derived in the on-going negotiations with its lenders.

The aggregate amount of the Company's and its affiliates' outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 2008 was approximately $157 million, and it is anticipated that scheduled interest or principal curtailment payments will be ceased with respect to up to $94 million of this indebtedness where sufficient interest reserves are not currently in place.
