     No cash was required to be paid by the Reporting Persons in consideration of the issuance of the 1,666,943 shares of Common Stock to the Reporting Persons on September 2, 1997. Such shares were issued by the Company under and pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) filed by the Company under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on July 14, 1997. The Plan was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on August 19, 1997 and became effective on September 2, 1997.

     Under the Plan, the Company exchanged 56 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 in principal amount of the 12% Senior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Debentures due March 15, 2002 (“Senior Debentures”) and 28 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 in principal amount of the outstanding 12% Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Debentures due March 15, 2002 (“Subordinated Debentures”) that were outstanding as of March 15, 1997, and 1 share of Common Stock for each 100 shares of Class A Stock that were outstanding.
     Pursuant to the Plan, holders of Senior Debentures and/or Subordinated Debentures and Class A Stock on September 2, 1997 received shares of Common Stock in exchange for releasing the Company from its obligations under the debentures and the Class A Stock. The Reporting Persons received 1,666,943 shares of Common Stock from the Company under this Plan in exchange for its release of the Company from its obligations to the Reporting Persons under the $25,636,326 principal amount of Senior Debentures (1,435,634 shares of Common Stock), the $8,207,441 principal amount of Subordinated Debentures (229,808 shares of Common Stock) and the $150,000 of Class A Stock (1,500 shares of Common Stock) held by the Reporting Persons on September 2, 1997.

     On July 22, 1998, the Reporting Persons purchased 813 shares of Common Stock from Penates Foundation (the “Foundation”) pursuant to a letter agreement dated July 16, 1998 by and among the Company and the Foundation, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4 to Amendment No. 1 and is incorporated herein by reference, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,707.25, or $8.25 per share.
     On March 7, 2005, the Reporting Persons entered into a forward sale agreement for the disposition of 300,000 shares of the Common Stock acquired in the transactions described above to Mercury Targeted Securities Fund LP. A copy of the forward sale agreement was attached as Exhibit 1 to Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
     On June 21, 2007, ING Capital, acting as investment manager on behalf of ING Middenbank Curacao N.V., transferred (i) 250,000 shares of Common Stock to ING Schuyler Master LTD, a fund for which ING Global acts as investment manager, and (ii) 1,380,683 shares of Common Stock to ING Capital.
