Statement on Form S-4 (file number 333-92561) which became effective on January
13, 2000.

that each may deem significant to its respective investment decisions, any of

7,326,821 shares of the Common Stock which represent 68.9% of the outstanding

beneficial owner of 5,700 additional shares of the Common Stock, with respect to
which he has the sole power of vote and disposition.

     (c) Except for the Merger and the acquisition of shares of Common Stock
therein, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Common
Stock during the past 60 days, except that Hersh acquired 5,700 shares of the
Common Stock during the period from December 15 to December 30, 1999.

     (d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
shares described in this Item 5.

     (e) Not applicable.

their shares of Common Stock on the same terms. Reference is made to the full
text of the Shareholders Agreement which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule
13D and incorporated herein.
