      <footnote id="F1"> Includes 45,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock of the Issuer, presently convertible into 467,775 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.</footnote>

      <footnote id="F2"> Such shares of Common Stock of the Issuer are held by three trusts, each for the benefit of one of Mr. Solomon's three children.  Mr. Solomon is a trustee of such trusts and, accordingly, may be deemed to have a beneficial interest therein.  Beneficial ownership reported on this Form 4 does not include shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by charitable foundations of which Mr. Solomon is a trustee.  Mr. Solomon expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held by such trusts and charitable foundations, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Solomon is the beneficial owner of such securities.</footnote>
   </footnotes>
   <remarks>Because the SEC's electronic filing system does not allow for the disclosure of more than 30 transactions on one Form 4, Mr. Solomon is filing 2 simultaneous Form 4s to report his reportable transactions all of which together shall be deemed a single report filed on this date. This is the second Form 4 of the 2 filings.</remarks>
