                    The principal place of business and the principal
          office of each of the Reporting Persons and Related Persons are
          at 610 Fifth Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10020.  During
          the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or the Related
          Persons has been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding, (ii) a
          party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body
          of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding has
          not been subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
          future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
          subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
          violation with respect to such laws.


          ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                    The funds for the acquisition of the Securities were
          allocated from the working capital or personal funds of the
          Reporting Persons and were not obtained by means of a loan or
          other borrowing arrangement.

                    The Common Shares were acquired by certain of the
          Reporting Persons in open market purchases from time to time, as
          well as by means of partner distributions made by private
          investment funds that formerly held Common Shares of the Issuer.
          Such distributions were made at various times on a pro rata basis
          and without consideration.  The Preferred Shares were acquired by
          certain of the Reporting Persons from the Issuer in a transaction
          completed on July 26, 1999 at a purchase price of $5.50 per share
          for an aggregate amount of $12,000,000 in cash.  Each such
          Reporting Person paid its pro rata share of the acquisition price
          of the Preferred Shares it received.  The Options were granted to
          a Reporting Person who is a Director of the Issuer at various
          times under the terms of a stock option plan for the benefit of
          the Directors of the Issuer.


          ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                    Each of the Reporting Persons acquired its Securities
          as long-term investments.  None of the Reporting Persons
          presently intends to acquire control of the Issuer.  However, if
          any Reporting Person believes that further investment in the
          Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market price of the
          Issuer's securities or otherwise, such Reporting Person may
          acquire additional securities of the Issuer.  Similarly, any
          Reporting Person, subject to applicable law and depending upon
          market and other factors, may from time to time determine to
          dispose some or all of the securities.

                    The Reporting Persons have no present intention to
          engage or cause the Issuer to engage in any of the transactions
          or activities specified in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this
          Item 4 other than as set forth in the immediately preceding
          paragraph.  However, each Reporting Person reserves the right,
          either individually or together with other persons, to act in
          respect of its interest in the Issuer in accordance with its best
          judgment in light of the circumstances existing at that time.


          ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                    (a)  Each Reporting Person owns or has the right to
          acquire the number of securities shown opposite its name:
