16. We consider the case of equal frequencies of the two EVM, which seems to be reasonable from the experimental data. This choice simplifies the discussion of the numerical results but is not necessary for the formulation of the theory.

28. The pigment-protein interactions were taken into account by varying site energies of the Chl's. The energies which gave the best fit for the linear absorption spectrum were determined by an optimization procedure.
