  In lieu of an outright sale, on October 15, 2007, Howard Dubinett entered into a
  pre-paid variable price forward sales contract ("Forward Contract") with UBS
  Securities LLC ("UBS"). Pursuant to the Forward Contract, Mr. Dubinett pledged
  89,047 shares of his BRLI Common Stock to secure his obligation to deliver a
  maximum 89,047 shares of BRLI Common Stock to UBS on October 19, 2009 (the
  "Settlement Date"). As prepayment for the pledge of these shares, UBS agreed to
  pay Mr. Dubinett $2,572,474 or approximately $28.89 per share representing 87.9%
  of the proceeds from the sale of 89,047 shares on October 16, 2007. The number
  of shares that Mr. Dubinett is required to deliver on the Settlement Date varies
  based upon the price of the Common Stock on the Settlement Date. Mr. Dubinett
  will benefit from any excess in the price of the Common Stock on the Settlement
  Date between $32.87 per share up to a maximum $39.44 per share by being able to
  deliver fewer shares. Until the Settlement Date, Mr. Dubinett retains the voting
  rights to the 89,047 pledged shares and is deemed the beneficial owner of such
  shares.

  In lieu of an outright sale, on October 15, 2007, Howard Dubinett entered into a
  pre-paid variable price forward sales contract ("Forward Contract") with UBS
  Securities LLC ("UBS"). Pursuant to the Forward Contract, Mr. Dubinett pledged
  89,047 shares of his BRLI Common Stock to secure his obligation to deliver a
  maximum 89,047 shares of BRLI Common Stock to UBS on October 19, 2009 (the
  "Settlement Date"). As prepayment for the pledge of these shares, UBS agreed to
  pay Mr. Dubinett $2,572,474 or approximately $28.89 per share representing 87.9%
  of the proceeds from the sale of 89,047 shares on October 16, 2007. The number
  of shares that Mr. Dubinett is required to deliver on the Settlement Date varies
  based upon the price of the Common Stock on the Settlement Date. Mr. Dubinett
  will benefit from any excess in the price of the Common Stock on the Settlement
  Date between $32.87 per share up to a maximum $39.44 per share by being able to
  deliver fewer shares. Until the Settlement Date, Mr. Dubinett retains the voting
  rights to the 89,047 pledged shares and is deemed the beneficial owner of such
  shares.
