The Filing Parties acquired the shares of Common Stock, Class C Preferred Stock, Warrants and

Parties, as holders of Class C Preferred Stock, participate in the nomination and election of two
individuals to serve on the board of directors in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of
Designations of the Class C Preferred Stock and, from time to time, Mr. McCarthy and other
representatives of the Filing Parties engage in discussions with the Issuers management and board
of directors in an effort to identify opportunities to increase the value of the Securities.
The Filing Parties reserve the right to acquire additional, or dispose of, securities of the
Issuer, in the ordinary course of business to the extent deemed advisable in light of the Filing
Parties general investment and trading policies, market conditions, the availability of shares of
Common Stock, Class C Preferred Stock, Warrants or 7% Debentures or other factors. Other than as
described above and in Item 6 below, no member of the Filing Parties has present plans or proposals
that would result in any of the following:

liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
2) any sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries;
7
3) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
4) any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure;
5) any change in the Issuers charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or
other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;
6) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities
exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of
a registered national securities association;
7) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
On November 10, 2006, the Issuer entered into an Agreement (the Agreement) with the
Filing Parties. The Agreement provides that if the Issuer undertakes, in its sole discretion,
within one (1) year from the date of the Agreement, a tender or exchange offer for the Issuers
Class C Preferred Stock, the Filing Parties will (i) tender or exchange an aggregate total of only
180,450 shares of the Class C Preferred Stock owned by the Filing Parties and (ii) waive their
rights to all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock tendered or exchanged.
The obligations of the Filing Parties described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are subject
to certain conditions, including: (a) the consideration to be paid for each share tendered or
exchanged is to be 7.4 shares of Common Stock, (b) the Board of Directors of the issuer shall have
received an opinion that the tender or exchange offer and the consideration therefor is fair to the
stockholders of the Issuer, (c) the approval by the holders of the Common Stock and Class C
Preferred Stock of certain amendments to the Certificate of Designations of the Class C Preferred
Stock as described below and, if required by the rules of the AMEX, the approval by the holders of
the Common Stock of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the transaction. As the
beneficial and record of 340,900 shares of Class C Preferred Stock, the Filing Parties have the
power to vote 68.3% of the total votes held by all holders of Class C Preferred Stock, which is
sufficient to approve the Amendments on behalf of the Class C Preferred Stock.
The Agreement also provides that the Filing Parties agree to vote their shares of the Issuers
Common Stock and Class C Preferred Stock to amend the Certificate of Designations of the Class C
Preferred Stock to (a) allow the Issuer to acquire shares of its Common Stock for a period of five
years from the date of completion of the tender or exchange offer, without the approval of the
holders of the Class C Preferred Stock, notwithstanding that accrued and unpaid dividends may exist
with respect to the Class C Preferred Stock, and (b) provide that the existing right of the holders
of Class C Preferred Stock to elect two directors to the Issuers Board of Directors when dividends
on the Class C Preferred Stock are unpaid may be exercised only if and so long as at least 140,000
shares of Class C Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding.
The Certificate of Designations of the Class C Preferred Stock currently prohibits the Issuer
from purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring any shares of Common Stock or other securities
ranking junior to the Class C Preferred Stock as to dividends and rights upon liquidation and
provides that when dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock are in arrears and unpaid in an amount
equal to at least six quarterly dividends the Class C Preferred Stock holders have the exclusive
right to vote for and elect two additional directors during period the dividends remain in arrears.
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms of the Agreement. The above discussion is
qualified by reference to such copy of the Agreement. A copy of the Agreement is filed herewith as
Exhibit 2.
