               Mr. Ressler's beneficial ownership includes 510,000 shares of
               Common Stock that he holds directly, including 10,000 shares of
               restricted stock and 593,750 shares underlying options he owns
               that are exercisable within sixty days (the "Options").
               Accordingly, for Mr. Ressler, the foregoing percentage reflects a
               total of 25,454,514 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
               December 31, 2005 (as reported by j2's transfer agent), and also
               assumes the exercise of the remaining Options held by Mr.
               Ressler, but not the exercise of any other warrants or options
               held by other persons with respect to the Common Stock (i.e., the
               denominator for calculating such percentage for Mr. Ressler is
               27,048,264).
