        <footnote id="F12">Pursuant to the Agreement, Waiver and Consent dated as of December 19, 2002 between the Issuer and each of the US Fund and the Offshore Fund, each of the US Fund and the Offshore Fund agreed to defer the implementation of the anti-dilution provisions with respect to the conversion price of the Series A Preferred that would otherwise result from the issuance of the 10% Exchange Notes.  However, such waiver of the anti-dilution adjustment does not apply in the event of a conversion of such notes in connection with the Issuer's equity offering.  Thus, the issuance of shares of common stock on December 19, 2003 in connection with the conversion of the 10% Exchange Notes in connection with the Issuer's equity offering at the conversion rate of $0.79 per share triggered the anti-dilution adjustment provisions of the Series A Preferred, resulting in a reduction of the conversion price of the Series A Preferred from $1.10 per share to $0.79 per share.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F13">As of the date hereof, the 125,086 shares of Series A Preferred are convertible at a conversion price of $0.79 into 15,833,671 shares of Common Stock.  The foregoing calculation of the conversion of the Series A Preferred at $0.79 per share reflects deemed beneficial owenrship with respective to dispositive power.  However, pursuant to Seciton 4 of the Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer filed January 3, 2003, in determining the number of votes per share of the Series A Preferred, the conversion price shall be the higher of (a) the conversion price then in effect, or (b) $1.78.  In accordance therewith, the conversion price is $1.78 solely with respect to the voting power of the Series A Preferred.  Therefore, with respect to voting power, as of the date hereof, the 125,086 shares of Series A Preferred are convertible at a conversion price of $1.78 per share into 7,027,303 shares of Common Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F14">Note that shares of Series A Preferred are exercisable immediately upon issuance.  Thus, the 125,086 shares of Series A Preferred were exercisable on their respective dates of issuance, as set forth in previous Section 16 filings.  There is no expiration date for the conversion of the Series A Preferred; holders of the Series A Preferred are entitled to convert the Series A Preferred into Common Stock at any time.  However, on March 31, 2004, the Issuer has the option to redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred at the mandatory redemption price (as defined in the designation fo the Series A Preferred in the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation) on March 31, 2004.</footnote>
