Paragraphs (a) – (c) of the Statement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

As of the date hereof, M.

Each of IGHA Holdings, JTOO and R. Franklin directly owns 19.2%, 19.2% and 2.0%, respectively of Mariposa, representing a pecuniary interest in 768,000, 768,000 and 80,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
