        <footnote id="F1">On March 4, 2004, the Issuer issued a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock to Atlantic Automotive Corp. (the &quot;Original Warrant&quot;), pursuant to which Atlantic Automotive was given the right to purchase up to 100,000 shares of $.01 par value Common Stock of the Issuer at a purchase price of $22.33 per share.  In November 2004, Atlantic Automotive notified the Issuer of its intention to transfer and assign its right to purchase up to 10,000 of these shares to Joseph Tomarchio, Jr. in a private transaction.  At the request of Atlantic Automotive, on November 30, 2004, the Issuer issued a Warrant to Purchase Common Stock to Mr. Tomarchio, pursuant to which he was given the right to purchase up to 10,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at a purchase price of $22.33 per share.  The Issuer then reissued the Original Warrant to Atlantic Automotive for the right to purchase up to 90,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.</footnote>
