Please Note Well:

In the beginning on August 10, 2009...

We bought 59 bonds. CALCULATION: $30,000 ($15,000 of which is margin)divided by
$513.00 (price of a convertible bond) = 59 bonds.

Total investment = $30267.00

We start our plan as a half-hedge. That is, we sell short half the shares represented
by our 59 bonds which equals a total of 1797 shares sold short.

CALCULATION: 59 bonds x 60.79 shares per bond = 3593 shares. So a half-hedge is ½
of 3593 or 1797 shares sold short.

Always sell short 599 shares on each move to an upside sub goal. That is, 1797 shares
sold short, divided by the 3 upside sub goals = 599.

Always cover ('buy in') 599 shares on each move to a downside goal. That is, 1797
shares sold short divided by the 3 downside sub goals = 599.
