        <footnote id="F1">Series B Senior Subordinated Convertible Voting Redeemable Preferred Stock.  In the original Form 3, it was incorrectly reported that the Reporting Person directly owned 1,250,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Issuer.  This Form 3/A amends that incorrect disclosure and accurately reflects the Reporting Person's ownership of the Issuer's Series B Preferred Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the holder's election, and has no expiration date.</footnote>

These holdings may be subject to additional adjustment resulting from future dilutive issuances by the Issuer and/or the future termination and/or expiration of other outstanding securities of the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The original conversion ratio was 1 share of Preferred Stock for every 100 shares of Common Stock.

This conversion ratio may be subject to further adjustment resulting from future dilutive issuance by the Issuer and/or the future termination and/or expiration of other outstanding securities of the Issuer.</footnote>
