Item 4. Ownership.

(a) Amount beneficially owned as of December 31, 1999:

                  With respect to reporting person (i):

                        See Item 9 on the second part of the cover page for such
                  reporting person. Investcorp does not directly own any shares
                  of the Common Stock. As of December 31, 1999, beneficial
                  ownership includes 4,835,514 shares owned by three indirect
                  wholly-owned subsidiaries of Investcorp. The remaining
                  2,614,480 shares shown as beneficially owned by Investcorp
                  include the shares owned by various Cayman Islands
                  corporations. Investcorp may be deemed to share beneficial
                  ownership of the shares of the Common Stock held by such
                  entities because such entities or their shareholders or
                  principals have entered into revocable management services or
                  similar agreements with an affiliate of Investcorp pursuant to
                  which each such entity or person has granted such affiliate
                  the authority to direct the voting and disposition of the
                  Common Stock owned by such entity for so long as such
                  agreement is in effect.

                  With respect to reporting person (ii):

                        See Item 9 on the second part of the cover page for such
                  reporting person. SIPCO does not directly own any shares of
                  the Common Stock. The shares listed as beneficially owned by
                  SIPCO consist of the shares Investcorp is deemed to
                  beneficially own. SIPCO may be deemed to control Investcorp
                  through its ownership of a majority of the stock of a company
                  which indirectly owns a majority of Investcorp's outstanding
                  stock.

                        See Item 11 on the second part of the cover page for
                  such reporting person. The shares of the Common Stock reported
                  in paragraph (a) of this Item 4 as to which Investcorp may be
                  deemed to share beneficial ownership constitute 5.2% of the
                  shares of the Common Stock, based on a total of 143,816,034
                  shares reported by the Company to be outstanding as of October
                  30, 1999.

                  With respect to reporting person (ii):

                        See Item 11 on the second part of the cover page for
                  such reporting person. The shares of the Common Stock reported
                  in paragraph (a) of this Item 4 as to which SIPCO may be
                  deemed to share beneficial ownership constitute 5.2% of the
                  shares of the Common Stock, based on a total of 143,816,034

            shares of the Common Stock held by three indirect wholly-owned
            subsidiaries. In addition, Investcorp shares the power to direct the
            voting of an additional 2,614,480 shares of the Common Stock owned
            by various Cayman Islands corporations, because such entities or
            their shareholders or principals have entered into revocable
            management services or similar agreements with an affiliate of
            Investcorp pursuant to which each such entity or person has granted
            such affiliate the authority to direct the voting and disposition of

            is in effect.

            ownership of a majority of the stock of a company which indirectly

                  With respect to each reporting person listed in Item 2(a)

                  With respect to reporting person (i):

                        See Item 8 on the second part of the cover page for such
                  reporting person. Investcorp shares the power to direct the
                  disposition of 4,835,514 shares of the Common Stock held by
                  three indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition,
                  Investcorp shares the power to direct the disposition of an
                  additional 2,614,480 shares of the Common Stock owned by
                  various Cayman Islands corporations, because such entities or
                  their shareholders or principals have entered into revocable
                  management services or similar agreements with an affiliate of
                  Investcorp pursuant to which each such entity has granted such
                  affiliate the authority to direct the voting and disposition
                  of the Common Stock owned by such entity for so long as such
                  agreement is in effect.

            With respect to reporting person (i):

                  See Item 8 on the second part of the cover page for such
            reporting person. SIPCO does not directly own any shares of the
            Common Stock. The shares listed as beneficially owned by SIPCO
            consist of the shares Investcorp is deemed to beneficially own.
            SIPCO may be deemed to control Investcorp through its ownership of a
            majority of the stock of a company which indirectly owns a majority
            of Investcorp's outstanding stock.

Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

            Not applicable.

            As indicated in Item 4, Investcorp's three indirect wholly owned
      subsidiaries hold 4,835,514 shares of the Common Stock. SIPCO may be
      deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares beneficially owned by
      Investcorp. The beneficial owners of the entity with which Investcorp has
      entered into revocable management services or other similar agreements
      have the right to receive the net proceeds from the sale of those shares
      of the Common Stock, but to the knowledge of Investcorp no such
      individual's interest relates to more than five percent of the Common
      Stock.
