The principal offices of KS are located at 2050 Center 6 Avenue, Suite 300, Fort Lee, New Jersey 07024, which is also the business address of Mr. Kramer and Mr. Spellman.

Incorporated, which extends 7 margin credit to the Partnerships or Managed Accounts, as the case may be, as and when required to open or carry positions in the margin account, subject to applicable Federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and the firm's credit policies. The positions held in this margin account are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. Item 4.

In pursuing this business, the Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which they invest, including the Company, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management). The Reporting Persons do not believe they possess material inside information concerning the Company. From time to time, one or more of the Reporting Persons may hold discussions with third parties or with management of such companies in which the Reporting Person may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, 8 management or capital structure of such companies as a means of enhancing shareholder value. Such suggestions or positions may relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, such matters as disposing of or selling all or a portion of the company or acquiring another company or business, changing operating or marketing strategies, adopting or not adopting certain types of anti-takeover measures and restructuring the company's capitalization or dividend policy.

The Company shall include in the registration statement any Conversion Shares of any other Holders of the Shares and/or Conversion Shares who notify the Company within ten (10) days after receiving notice from the Company of such request. 8.2 Piggyback Registration (a) If (but without any obligation to do so) at any time commencing after issuance of the Shares, the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a merger, acquisition or exchange offer or pursuant to Form S-8 or successor form or pursuant to any form which does not permit the offer or sale of securities by any person other than the Company) it will give written notice by registered mail, at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of each such registration statement to the Holders of the Shares and/or Conversion Shares, at their respective addresses appearing in the 8 Company's records, of its intention to do so. Upon the written request of any Holder of the Shares and/or Conversion Shares given to do so. Upon the written request of any Holder of the Shares and/or Conversion Shares given within ten (10) days after receipt of any such notice of its or their desire to include any such Conversion Shares in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford such Holders 9 of the Shares and/or Conversion Shares the opportunity to have any such Conversion Shares registered under such registration statement. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Company shall have the right at any time after it shall have given written notice pursuant to this Section 8.2 (irrespective of whether a written request for inclusion of any such securities shall have been made) to elect not to file any such proposed registration statement, or to withdraw the same after the filing but prior to the effective date hereof. (c) If any registration pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be underwritten in whole or in part, the Company may require that the Conversion Shares requested for inclusion pursuant to this Section 8.2 be included in the underwriting on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold in such underwritten offering. If the managing underwriter of such offering contemplated by such registration statement shall advise the Company and the Holders in writing that the inclusion of all of the Conversion Shares originally covered by a request for registration together with the shares of Common Stock proposed to be included by the Company and any other selling shareholder in such registration creates a substantial risk that the Company's offering will be materially and adversely affected, the number of Conversion Shares and Parity Conversion Shares (as hereinafter defined) otherwise to be included in the underwritten public offering may be proportionately reduced among the Holders of the Conversion Shares and the holders of any shares of Common Stock ("Parity Conversion Shares") issued or issuable upon conversion of any Parity Stock (as defined in the Resolution of the Board of Directors determining the designation and number of the Shares (the "Resolution"), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "B" to the Memorandum) proposed to be registered, to the minimum extent such managing underwriter so advises the Company is necessary to avoid such risk; provided, however, that no such reduction shall be made until all shares of Common Stock proposed to be registered by any shareholder, other than (i) Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of any Senior Stock (as defined in the Resolution), (ii) Conversion Shares or (iii) Parity Conversion Shares, are first removed from such registration. No reduction shall be made in the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of Senior Stock until all Conversion Shares or Parity Conversion Shares have been removed. Whenever this Section 8.2 requires that Conversion Shares and Parity Conversion Shares be proportionately reduced, then such reduction shall be effected in proportion (as nearly as practicable) as the number of shares of Conversion Shares and Parity Conversion Shares proposed to be registered by a holder of such shares bears to the total number of Conversion Shares and Parity Conversion Shares proposed to be registered by all holders of such shares. At the request of the managing underwriter, if any, of any offering made by a registration statement pursuant to which a Holder has registered Conversion Shares pursuant to this Section 8.2, each Holder, as a condition precedent to participating in such underwritten offering, shall agree not to sell any shares of Common Stock (including Conversion Shares) held or owned by such Holder for a period of not more than 90 days after the effective date of such registration statement. 10 8.3 Covenants of the Company with Respect to Registration In connection with any registration under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, the Company covenants and agrees as follows: 11 (a) The Company shall use its best efforts to promptly file a registration statement upon receipt of any demand therefor pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, shall use its best efforts to have any registration statements declared effective at the earliest practicable time, and shall furnish each Holder desiring to sell Conversion Shares such number of prospectuses as shall reasonably be requested. It shall be a condition precedent to the Company's obligations to take any action pursuant to Section 8 that any Holder desiring to sell Conversion Shares shall provide to the Company such information regarding itself, the Shares and Conversion Shares held by it, the number of Conversion Shares to be sold and the intended method of disposition and such other information as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of such Conversion Shares. (b) The Company shall pay all costs, fees and expenses in connection with all registration statements filed pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof including, without limitation, the Company's legal and accounting fees, printing expenses, blue sky fees and expenses (but excluding fees and expenses of Holders' counsel, any underwriting or selling commissions or any other costs, fees or expenses of any underwriter, broker-dealer or other person acting on behalf of Holders). (c) In any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 8.1 and Section 8.2, the Company will take all reasonable action which may be required in qualifying or registering the Conversion Shares included in such registration statement for offering and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as reasonably are requested by the Holders, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to execute or file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer to do business under the laws of any such jurisdiction. (d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Holders to convert Shares prior to the initial filing of any registration statement or the effectiveness thereof. 8.4 Limitations. (a) The Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to Section 8.1 within 90 days before or after any proposed, pending or completed public offering of the Company's securities. A public offering shall be considered "proposed" for the purpose of the foregoing sentence if, at or within 10 days after receipt of the Demand Notice, the Company has signed a letter of intent with respect to such public offering. (b) The Company shall not be required to register any Conversion Shares at any time when the Shares or the Conversion Shares are then eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144(k) promulgated by the Commission (or any succeeding regulation to Rule 144(k)). (c) The Company shall not be obligated to effect a registration pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or file any amendment or supplement thereto, and may suspend the Holders' rights to make sales pursuant to an effective registration pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, at any time when the Company, in the good faith judgment of its Board of Directors, reasonably believes that the filing thereof at the time requested, or the offering of securities pursuant thereto, would materially and adversely affect a pending or proposed acquisition, merger, recapitalization, 12 consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction, or negotiations, discussions or pending proposals with respect thereto. (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration of Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, if, at the Company's option, it shall have offered in writing to pay to the Holders of Conversion Shares otherwise entitled to have their Conversion Shares registered pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, in exchange for such Conversion Shares, and shall have paid within five (5) business days after the acceptance by any Holder, a sum equal to the product of (1) Current Market Price of Common Stock (as defined in, and determined pursuant to, the Resolution) determined as of the date of receipt of the Demand Notice and (2) the number of Conversion Shares otherwise proposed to be registered by such Holder. 8.5 Indemnification. (a) The Company shall indemnify the Holders of the Conversion Shares to be sold pursuant to any registration statement under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, their respective officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls such Holders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), against all loss, claim, damage, expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other statute, common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holders expressly for use in such registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, as the case may be. The indemnification provided for in this Section 8.5(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder (or to the benefit of any person controlling such Holder) if the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability who purchased the Conversion Shares which are the subject thereof did not receive a copy of an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Conversion Shares to such person and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in such registration statement was corrected in the amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended and supplemented). (b) The Holders of the Conversion Shares to be sold pursuant to a registration statement, and their successors and assigns, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against all loss, claim, damage or expense or liability (including all expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim whatsoever) 13 to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a 14 material fact contained in such registration statement, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading but only if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Holders expressly for use in such registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, as the case may be, or (ii) the failure of any Holder (or any person controlling such Holder) at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Conversion Shares to send or deliver a copy of an amended preliminary prospectus or the final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented) to the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses who purchased the Conversion Shares which is the subject thereof and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in such preliminary prospectus was corrected in the amended preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (or the final prospectus as amended or supplemented). (c) If any action is brought against the Holders, their respective officers and directors or any controlling person of the Holders in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to Section 8.5(a), or if any action is brought against the Company, its officers and directors or any controlling person of the Company in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Holders pursuant to Section 8.5(b), then the party which is entitled to such indemnification (collectively with such party's controlling persons, the "Indemnitee") from the other party (the "Indemnitor") shall within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereby of a summons or complaint notify the Indemnitor in writing of the institution of such action. Thereafter, the Indemnitor shall assume the defense of such action, including the employment and payment of reasonable fees and expenses of counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee). The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the Indemnitor in connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the Indemnitor shall not have employed counsel to defend such action or (iii) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor (in which case the Indemnitor shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnitee), in any of which events the reasonably fees and expenses of not more than one additional firm of attorneys for the Indemnitee shall be borne by the Indemnitor. Except as expressly provided in the previous sentence, in the event that the Indemnitor shall not previously have assumed the defense of any such action or claim, the Indemnitor shall not thereafter be liable to the Indemnitee investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim. The Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the Indemnitor of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Indemnitee or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons in connection with the resale of the Conversion Shares or in connection with such registration statement. 8.6. Amendment. The provisions of this Section 8 may be amended upon the written agreement of the Company and the Holders entitled to cast a majority of the votes which Holders of Shares and/or Conversion Shares are then entitled to vote (assuming for the 15 purposes of this Section 8.6 that each Share is entitled to one vote for each Conversion Share into which it is then convertible), which such amendment shall be binding on all Holders. 16 9.
