Explanation of Responses:
1. The Reporting Person is the managing member of Knott Partners Management, LLC, which is (i) the sole general partner of Shoshone Partners, L.P., Mulsanne Partners, L.P. and Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund LP., and (ii) the managing general partner of Knott Partners, L.P.
2. This entry represents securities of the issuer held by institutional managed accounts for which Dorset Management Corporation provides investment management services (the "Managed Accounts").
3. As a result of the Reporting Person's interests in Knott Partners Management, LLC and in Dorset Management Corporation, the Reporting Person has investment discretion and control of the securities in this entry. The Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own an indirect pecuniary interest in securities in this entry as a result of a performance related fee. Except with respect to Knott Partners, L.P. and Shoshone Partners, L.P., in which the Reporting Person owns a beneficial interest, the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership therein except to the extent ultimately realized. Each of Knott Partners, L.P., Shoshone Partners, L.P., Mulsanne Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P. and the Managed Accounts disclaims beneficial ownership of securities reported as owned by any other party.
4. These shares are currently convertible.
5. These shares do not expire.
6. The derivative securities reported in this entry are exercisable at any time but only to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise the holder thereof, together with such holder's affiliates, would not beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
7. The derivative securities reported in this entry are exercisable at any time from and after June 20, 2007 but only to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise the holder thereof, together with such holder's affiliates, would not beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
8. The conversion price of the derivative securities reported in this entry (the "Conversion Price") is equal to the lesser of (i) $3.50 and (ii) 100% of the average of the closing prices of the issuer's Common Stock as reported on the American Stock Exchange for the three trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. As of the date of the transactions reported in this Form 4 the Conversion Price is $ 3.50.
9. The number reported in this entry is based upon a Conversion Price of $3.50.
10. The number of shares of Common Stock into which the derivative securities reported in this entry are convertible is equal to (i) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock beneficially held (1,188), multiplied by (ii) $1,000 and divided by (iii) the Conversion Price; provided, however, that in no event may a holder of Series C Preferred Stock convert Series C Preferred Stock to the extent that the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, when combined with shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of other Series C Preferred Stock by all holders thereof and upon exercise of the Warrants (this term is not defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred Stock, but presumably refers to the Warrants issued to purchasers of the Series C Preferred Stock in connection with the original issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock) by all holders thereof, would exceed 5,734,068 shares of Common Stock.
11. The number of shares of Common Stock into which the derivative securities reported in this entry are convertible is equal to (i) the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock beneficially held (112), multiplied by (ii) $1,000 and divided by (iii) the Conversion Price, provided, however, that in no event may a holder of Series C Preferred Stock convert Series C Preferred Stock to the extent that the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, when combined with shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of other Series C Preferred Stock by all holders thereof and upon exercise of the Warrants (this term is not defined in the Certificate of Designations of the Series C Preferred Stock, but presumably refers to the Warrants issued to purchasers of the Series C Preferred Stock in connection with the original issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock) by all holders thereof, would exceed 5,734,068 shares of Common Stock.
