is not conditional upon Eagle Rock receiving any minimum amount of subscriptions
from shareholders. The proceeds of the Rights Offering will be used by the
Corporation to fund general working capital and capital expenditures of the
Corporation as well as to fund the expenses incurred by the Corporation in
connection with its recent reorganization and the Private Placements.
