In addition, Empire Capital Management provides discretionary investment management services to a limited number of clients. The principal business of Charter Oak is serving as a private investment limited partnership. Empire Capital Management manages a portion of the assets of Charter Oak pursuant to a discretionary investment management agreement. (d) & (e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any general partner, manager or executive officer of the Reporting Persons, has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body resulting in a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violations with respect to such laws. ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION The net investment cost (including commissions, if any) of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by Broken Arrow is approximately $1,886,605. The shares of Common Stock purchased by Broken Arrow were purchased with working capital. None of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by Broken Arrow may be pledged as collateral for loans made by banks or brokerage firms. The net investment cost (including commissions, if any) of the shares of Common Stock owned by Empire Capital Management, on behalf of Charter Oak, is approximately $5,855,000. The shares of Common Stock purchased by Empire Capital Management, on behalf of Charter Oak, were purchased with working capital of Charter Oak. All or part of the shares of Common Stock owned by Charter Oak may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such bank(s) or brokerage firm(s) to Empire Capital Management, on behalf of Charter Oak. Such loans bear interest at a rate based upon the broker's call rate from time to time in effect. Such indebtedness may be refinanced with other banks or broker-dealers. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION SSH, on behalf of Broken Arrow, acquired the shares of Common Stock for the purpose of obtaining a significant equity position in the Issuer. SSH considered the Common Stock to be an attractive investment at the price levels at which it acquired the shares of Common Stock. 14 SSH's primary interest is to maximize the value of its investment on behalf of Broken Arrow. To this end, SSH intends continually to review the Issuers business affairs and financial position and future prospects, as well as conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industrial conditions. Based on such evaluation and review and other factors (including, without limitation, the attitude of the Board of Directors and management of the Issuer), SSH will continue to consider various alternative courses of action and will in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. Such actions may include seeking representation on the Board of Directors of the Issuer, making recommendations to members of management concerning various business strategies, acquisitions, dividend policies and other matters, seeking to acquire control of the Issuer through a merger, proxy solicitation, tender offer, exchange offer or otherwise, or such other actions as SSH may deem appropriate. Such actions may involve the purchase of additional Common Stock or, alternatively, may involve the sale of all or a portion of the Common Stock held by Broken Arrow in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions to one or more purchasers. Bienvenu Management does not directly own any shares of Common Stock but because it is the manager of SSH Bienvenu Management may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock. Empire Capital does not directly own any shares of Common Stock but because its interest in Broken Arrow represents a majority ownership interest in the fund and because the shares of Common Stock represent nearly all of the assets of Broken Arrow Empire Capital may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock. Empire Capital Management, an affiliate of Empire GP, the general partner of Empire Capital, acquired shares of the Common Stock, on behalf of Charter Oak, for the purpose of obtaining an equity position in the Issuer. Empire Capital Management considered the Common Stock to be an attractive investment at the price levels at which it acquired the Common Stock. While it is not restricted from doing so in the future, it is not anticipated that Empire Capital Management, on behalf of Charter Oak, will acquire any additional shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to its discretionary investment management agreement with Charter Oak, Empire Capital Management is responsible for the voting of proxies solicited with respect to the Common Stock and for determining whether to acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock. In that regard, Empire Capital Management may vote such proxies in a manner consistent with the voting of such proxies by SSH, on behalf of Broken Arrow, and may acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock in such amounts and at such times as may assist SSH in effectuating the investment program of Broken Arrow, subject, in each case, to the determination by Empire Capital Management that such actions are consistent with its obligations under the discretionary investment management agreement. ITEM 5.

Empire Capital does not directly own any shares of Common Stock but because its interest in Broken Arrow represents a majority ownership interest in Broken Arrow and because the shares of Common Stock represent nearly all of the assets of Broken Arrow, Empire Capital may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock representing 5.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Empire GP, as the general partner of Empire Capital, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock representing 5.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Furthermore, Empire GP, as an affiliate of Empire Capital Management, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock representing 2.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as described below.

Charter Oak beneficially owned, as of the date hereof, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock representing 2.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to its discretionary investment management agreement with Charter Oak, Empire Capital Management has the power to determine how to vote any shares of Common Stock that it has acquired on behalf of Charter Oak, unless otherwise instructed by Charter Oak. Empire Capital Management has the sole authority to determine whether to dispose of any shares of Common Stock that it has acquired on behalf of Charter Oak. Consequently, Empire Capital Management has the power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 2.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Furthermore, Empire Capital Management, as an affiliate of Empire GP, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock representing 5.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Messrs. Fine and Richards, as the managing members of Empire Capital Management, direct the operations of Empire Capital Management.
