neither the filing of this statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed an
admission that any of such persons is a beneficial owner of the Issuer's Common
Stock acquired by CVCA or a member of a group together with CVCA either for the
purpose of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose with
respect to the Issuer's Common Stock.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Transactions Involving the Issuer

            In July 1997, CVCA and the fl@tiron Fund LLC (the "fl@tiron Fund")
purchased 5,535,000 and 465,000 shares, respectively, of the Issuer's Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") pursuant to a
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 25,
1997 (the "Series A Purchase Agreement") for an aggregate purchase price of
$2,767,500 and $232,500, respectively. In December 1997, CVCA sold 300,000
shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to New York City Investment Fund, LLC,
for an aggregate purchase price of $150,000, pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement dated as of November 14, 1997. In January 1998, CVCA and the fl@tiron
Fund purchased the Issuer's 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes in the aggregate
amount of $3,590,000 and $410,000, respectively, due on the earlier of July 21,
1998 or the closing of the Issuer's Series B Preferred Stock financing; these
were repaid in full on or about February 20, 1998. In February 1998, CVCA and
the fl@tiron Fund purchased 2,393,333 and 273,333 shares, respectively, of the
Issuer's Series B Redeemable Convertible Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock")
pursuant to a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as
of February 20, 1998 (the "Series B Purchase Agreement") for an aggregate
Purchase Price of $3,589,999.50 and $409,999.50, respectively. In August 1998,
CVCA, Flatiron Fund 1998/99 LLC, an affiliate of the fl@tiron Fund, ("Flatiron
Fund 98/99" and together with the fl@tiron Fund, the "Flatiron Investors"),
purchased the Issuer's 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes due on the earlier of
December 31, 1998 or the closing of the Issuer's Series C Preferred Stock
financing in the aggregate amount of $1,800,000 and $200,000, respectively;
these were repaid in full on August 24, 1998. In August 1998, CVCA and the
Flatiron Fund 98/99 purchased 3,750,000 and 416,667 shares, respectively, of the
Issuer's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock ("the Series C Preferred Stock")
pursuant to a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated as
of August 24, 1998 (the "Series C Purchase Agreement" and together with the
Series A Purchase Agreement and the Series B Purchase Agreement, the "Purchase
Agreements") for an aggregate purchase price of $18,000,000 and $20,000,000.60,
respectively. On May 15, 1999, the Issuer initiated an initial public offering
of its Common Stock, and as a result thereof each of the Series A Preferred
Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock held by
CVCA and the Flatiron Investors were automatically converted into shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock, the Purchase Agreements terminated and as a result
thereof, CVCA and the Flatiron Investors became the record holders of 11,378,333
and 1,155,000 shares, respectively. In addition, CVCA and the Flatiron Fund
98/99 purchased 360,000 and 90,000 shares, respectively, of the Issuer's Common
Stock pursuant to open market transactions, for an aggregate purchase price
equal to $5,250,000 and $1,350,000, respectively.

            In addition to the debt and equity purchases described above, Chase
Securities Inc. ("Chase Securities"), an affiliate of CVCA, is party to certain
agreements with the Issuer pursuant to which it performs various investment
banking and advisory services on behalf of the Issuer. In 1998, Chase Securities
received an aggregate amount of $1.2 million for these

services. Also in addition to the foregoing, Susan Segal, Partner - Head of the
Latin American Group of CCP, the sole general partner of CVCA, is currently a
member of the Issuer's Board of Directors.

            In addition, the Flatiron Investors and/or affiliates of the
Flatiron Investors (collectively, the "Flatiron Group") are parties to certain
co-investment arrangements with CCP and/or affiliates of CCP (the "Chase
Entities") pursuant to which the parties thereto have agreed to develop and
manage a venture capital investment program for the purpose of making private
investments, primarily in the securities of early stage companies in the
internet area (the "Program"). In substance, the Program is similar to a typical
venture capital investment firm, with certain Flatiron Investors receiving the
equivalent of a standard carried interest from the Chase Entities. Upon the
occurrence of certain contingencies that are outside of the control of the Chase
Entities, certain Chase Entities may acquire a pecuniary interest in the
investments made by the Flatiron Investors. None of the Chase Entities presently
has any beneficial or pecuniary interest in the shares of the Issuer held by the
Flatiron Investors.

Source of Funds

            The funds provided by CVCA for the purchase of the Issuer's Series A
Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Common
Stock and 8% Subordinated Notes were obtained from CVCA's contributed capital,
which includes funds that are held available for such purpose.

Disclaimer of Group Status

            Notwithstanding the existence of the foregoing co-investment
arrangements with the Flatiron Group, CVCA's decisions to acquire the Issuer's
equity securities and notes are decisions made unilaterally by CVCA. In CVCA's
opinion, none of these arrangements materially affect their respective rights to
vote and dispose of the Issuer's Common Stock. CVCA disclaims beneficial
ownership of the Issuer's securities held by the Flatiron Group and disclaims
that CVCA is member of a group with the Flatiron Group or any other persons
(other than as disclosed herein either for purposes of this Schedule 13D or for
any other purpose related to CVCA's beneficial ownership of the Issuer's
securities).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

            CVCA may be deemed the beneficial owner of 11,738,333 shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock. CVCA's deemed beneficial ownership represents 22.1% of
the Common Stock as of May 25, 1999. CVCA has sole voting power and dispositive
power with respect to its shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.
