<remarks>Explanation of Responses: Common Stock and PIK Debt (the &quot;Debt&quot;) were initially
acquired by High River Limited Partnership (&quot;High River&quot;) and American Real Estate
Holdings L.P. (&quot;AREH&quot;) pursuant to the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan
filed by the predecessor of Philip Services Corporation in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware under the Case No. 99-02385 (the &quot;Plan&quot;) and the conversion
 feature of the debt became exercisable upon effective date of such plan.  &quot;PIK Debt&quot;
means the ten percent (10%) Secured Convertible PIK Debt due 2005 of Philip Services
Corporation, in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which debt is convertible
until maturity at the option of the holders.  On June 23, 2003, in a privately negotiated
transaction, High River purchased an aggregate of approximately $2,520,207.71 principal
amount of the Debt (convertible into 215,034 Shares) and a certain amount of the term
debt of the Issuer.  In that transaction, the price for the approximately $2,520,207.71 face
amount of the Debt, as well as the price for the term debt of the Issuer, was 10% of the
principal amount of the Debt and the term debt.
Each of American Property Investors, Inc., (&quot;API&quot;), AREH, American Real Estate
Partners LP and High River is indirectly wholly owned by Mr. Icahn.
Barberry Corp. is the general partner of High River and is wholly owned by Mr. Icahn.
Beckton Corp. is the sole shareholder of API and is wholly owned by Mr. Icahn.
