Explanation of Responses:
1. Michael Zimmerman ("Mr. Zimmerman") controls, and is responsible for the supervision and conduct of all investment activities of, Prentice Capital Management, LP ("Prentice Capital," together with Mr. Zimmerman, the "Reporting Persons"), the investment manager to a number of investment funds (including Prentice Capital Partners, LP, Prentice Capital Partners QP, LP, Prentice Capital Offshore, Ltd., Prentice Special Opportunities, LP, Prentice Special Opportunities Offshore, Ltd. and Prentice Special Opportunities Master, L.P.) and manages investments for certain entities in managed accounts (the "Investment Entities"). The Reporting Persons hold the reported securities indirectly through the Investment Entities. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
2. The warrants are exercisable at any time at the holder's election. THE REPORTING PERSONS AND THE INVESTMENT ENTITIES ARE PROHIBITED FROM EXERCISING THE SECURITIES LISTED IN TABLE II, IF AFTER SUCH EXERCISE THEY, AS A GROUP, WOULD BENEFICIALLY OWN MORE THAN 9.99% OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK.
3. The number of derivative securities listed in column 9 of Table II following the reported transaction is being corrected to reflect the number of Series E Warrants only. The derivative securities listed in column 9 do not include other warrants held by the Reporting Persons. This Form 4 amendment is also amending the Form 4 filed on 9/22/08 to reflect that the Reporting Persons are still subject to Section 16.
