               The number of shares reported herein excludes 396,000 shares of
               Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Warrants to purchase
               shares of Common Stock held by SAC Capital Associates. Pursuant
               to the terms of the Warrants, SAC Capital Associates does not
               have the right to exercise the Warrants to the extent that, as a
               result of such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of Common
               Stock beneficially owned by it and its affiliates would exceed
               4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
               following such exercise. SAC Capital Associates may waive the
               provision restricting any such exercise upon not less than 60
               days prior written notice to the Issuer but SAC Capital
               Associates has not done so.

               SAC Capital Advisors, SAC Capital Management, and Mr. Cohen own
               directly no shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to investment
               agreements, each of SAC Capital Advisors and SAC Capital
               Management share all investment and voting power with respect to
               the securities held by SAC Capital Associates. Mr. Cohen controls
               both SAC Capital Advisors and SAC Capital Management. By reason
               of the provisions of Rule 13D-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of
               1934, as amended, each of SAC Capital Advisors, SAC Capital
               Management and Mr. Cohen may be deemed to own beneficially
               2,016,150 shares (constituting approximately 5.42% of the shares
               outstanding). Each of SAC Capital Advisors, SAC Capital
               Management and Mr. Cohen disclaim beneficial ownership of any of
               the securities covered by this statement.
