        <footnote id="F1">If at any date after July 9, 2007 the average closing price per share of common stock for any 60 consecutive trading days is not less than 400% of the Series E Accreted Value (described in note (2), below), then the issuer has the option to redeem within 40 days all outstanding Series E Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the &quot;Series E Preferred&quot;) for cash at a price per share equal to the Series E Accreted Value plus all dividends accrued since the previous semi-annual compounding date.  On July 9, 2008, all shares of Series E Preferred must automatically be redeemed for cash at a price per share equal to the Series E Accreted Value plus all dividends accrued since the previous semi-annual compounding date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This Form 3 is filed with respect to 6,500,000 shares of Series E Preferred purchased by Ace Paragon Holdings Limited from Great Affluent Limited on September 30, 2004.  The shares of Series E Preferred are convertible into the number of common stock of the issuer equal to the product of the number of shares of Series E Preferred being converted multiplied by the quotient of (i) the Series E Accreted Value divided by (ii) $1.50 (subject to anti-dilution adjustments).  Series E Accreted Value means, with respect to each share of Series E Preferred, the sum of $1.50 plus all dividends that have accrued and compounded semi-annually.  As of December 31, 2004, the most recent semi-annual dividend compounding date, the 6,500,000 shares of Series E Preferred were convertible into 6,677,531 shares of common stock.</footnote>
