        <footnote id="F2">Every one share of Series F Preferred Stock is initially convertible into ten shares of common stock of the issuer.  The conversion ratio of the Series F Preferred Stock is equal to the product of the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock being converted multiplied by the quotient of (i) the Series F Accreted Value plus all dividends accrued since the previous semi-annual compounding date divided by (ii) $1.40 (subject to anti-dilution adjustments).  Series F Accreted Value means, with respect to each share of Series F Preferred Stock, the sum of $14.00 plus all dividends that have accrued and compounded semi-annually.</footnote>
