Explanation of Responses:
*** In November 1998, the Reporting Person was nominated by Ingalls & Snyder
Value Partners L.P. ("ISVP") for election to the Board of Directors
(the "Board") of the Issuer pursuant to its right to elect such directors
in accordance with the terms of the Series AA Preferred Stock owned by ISVP.
To date, the Reporting Person has not been elected to the Board and has never
attended or otherwise participated or had access to the deliberations and
decisional processes and meetings of the Board. By letter dated July 30, 1999,
delivered to the Board, ISVP withdrew its request to nominate the Reporting
Person to the Board. The Reporting Person is no longer subject to Section 16.
