     As of July 25, 2006, certain members of the Recanati family, and entities

     Accordingly, under the Stockholders Agreement, each of Diane Recanati, Oudi

Trust may now be deemed to share the power to dispose of the 519,875 shares of
Common Stock held by Diane Recanati.


                                                                         Page 10



     Diane Recanati, Leon Recanati, Yudith Yovel Recanati and Michael Recanati
