Sachs & Co. FCP, Tinicum and some of the Managed Accounts hold certain
securities in their respective margin accounts at Goldman Sachs & Co., and the

The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares is for investment, and the
acquisitions of the Shares by each of the Partnerships and the Managed Accounts
were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose
of acquiring control of the Company.
Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire
or dispose of Shares, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting
Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Shares or
dispose of any or all of its Shares depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the
investment in the Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment
opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person and/or other
investment considerations. No Reporting Person has made a determination
regarding a maximum or minimum number of Shares which it may hold at any point
in time.
Also, consistent with their investment intent, the Reporting Persons may
engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Company, one or
more officers of the Company, and/or one or more members of the board of
directors of the Company regarding the Company, including but not limited to its
operations.
