Interest in Securities of the Issuer - ---------------------------------------------- (a), (b) According to the Issuer's Form 10-K filed with the Commission on November 9, 2007, there were 64,748,127 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2007. Based on such information, after taking into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock: (i) 598,960 shares of Common Stock held by Blum LP and RCBA Inc. on behalf of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner, which represents 0.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii) 2,369,030 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP III which serves as general partner of Blum GP III LP which, in turn, serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic III, which represents 3.7% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iii) 129,400 shares of the Common Stock held by Saddlepoint GP on behalf of a partnership for which it serves as the general partner, which represents 0.2% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; and (iv) 42,400 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by The Nuclear Decommissioning Trust of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. ("Dominion Connecticut"), which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and 42,400 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned by Virginia Electric and Power Company Qualified Nuclear Decommissioning Trust ("Virginia Electric"), which represents 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (collectively, the "Investment Advisory Clients"), with respect to which Blum LP has voting and investment power. Each Investment Advisory Client has entered into an investment management agreement with Blum LP, but neither Investment Advisory Client has any contract, arrangement or understanding with the other Investment Advisory Client, or any other Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, disposition or voting of any shares of the Common Stock. Each Investment Advisory Client disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting Person or with the other Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons other than for their own account. Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by Blum LP, Blum GP III and Saddlepoint GP. The Reporting Persons therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 3,182,190 shares of the Common Stock, which is 4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. As the sole general partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial owner of the securities over which Blum LP has voting and investment power. The filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of the shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing members and members of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP and Saddlepoint GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum LP, Blum GP III LP, Blum GP III or Saddlepoint GP. * * * * * * CUSIP NO. 67018T105 SCHEDULE 13D Page 12 of 13 c) During the last 60 days, the Reporting Persons sold the following number of shares of Common Stock in the open market: Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------- ---------- -------- ----------- Investment partnerships for 12-13-2007 140,400 16.9756 which Blum LP serves as the 02-06-2008 4,400 17.0177 general partner. 02-06-2008 2,000 17.2021 02-07-2008 8,000 16.4492 Entity Trade Date Shares Price/Share - ------- ---------- -------- ----------- For Blum Strategic III for 02-06-2008 17,100 17.0177 which Blum GP III LP 02-06-2008 8,500 17.2021 serves as the general partner 02-07-2008 31,160 16.4492 and for Blum GP III which serves as the general partner for Blum GP III LP.
