Explanatory Notes:

1) The names of the reporting persons and the Designated Reporter changed
during the first week of January 2001 as a result of internal reorganizations
and name changes effective as of various times during the week.  The internal
reorganizations and name changes did not alter the proportionate interests of
the ultimate security holders of the renamed entities.

2) The Designated Reporter is executing this report on behalf of all Reporting
Persons, each of whom has authorized it to do so.

3) The amounts shown in Tables I and II represent the beneficial ownership of
the Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC.  The Reporting Person is the sole
member of JPM SBIC.

4) The amounts shown in Tables I and II represent the beneficial ownership of
the Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC, a portion of which may be deemed
attributable to the Reporting Person because it is the sole general partner of
J.P. Morgan Partners (BHCA), L.P. ("JPM BHCA"), the sole member of JPM SBIC.
The actual pro rata portion of such beneficial ownership that may be deemed to
be attributable to the Reporting Person is not readily determinable because it
is subject to several variables, including the internal rate of return and
vesting of interests within JPM BHCA.

5) The amounts shown in Tables I and II represent the beneficial ownership of
the Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC, a sole member of JPM SBIC).  The
actual pro rata portion of such beneficial ownership that may be deemed to be
attributable to the Reporting Person is not readily determinable because it is
subject to several variables, including the internal rate of return and vesting
of interests within JPM BHCA and MF Manager.

6) The amounts shown in Tables I and II represent the beneficial ownership of
the Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC, a portion of which may be deemed
attributable to the Reporting Person because it is the sole stockholder of
JPMP Capital Corporation (the general partner of MF Manager) and of the limited
partner of JPM BHCA.  The actual pro rata portion of such beneficial ownership
that may be attributable to the Reporting Person is not readily determinable
