          BFIP II is the beneficial owner of 657,938 shares of Common Stock,

purchased by the Reporting Persons and the Junior Preferred Stock into which
the Preferred Stock is convertible (the "Junior Preferred Stock") conform to
the expected terms of such Preferred Stock and Junior Preferred Stock,
respectively, set forth in Amendment No. 1 to the Reporting Persons' Statement
on Schedule 13D, filed on March 11, 1999. The Reporting Persons purchased the
Preferred Stock for general investment purposes but, subject to the
restrictions set forth in the Shareholders Agreement, retain the right to
change their investment intent, to propose one or more possible transactions
to the Issuer's board, to acquire additional shares of the Issuer's preferred
stock or common stock from time to time or to sell or otherwise dispose of all
or part of the Preferred Stock, Common Stock or Junior Preferred Stock which
are beneficially owned or acquired by them in any manner permitted by law. In
addition, the Reporting Persons may maintain various credit facilities and
arrangements, including customary margin arrangements, with banks and other
financial institutions in the ordinary course of business and in connection
therewith provide to the lenders as collateral thereunder the shares of
Preferred Stock purchased by them or other securities of the Issuer held by
them.

          In accordance with a letter agreement, dated March 7, 1999, by and
among the Issuer, certain of the Reporting Persons and certain of the Apollo
Entities (as defined in Schedule I hereto), the Investors and certain other
stockholders of the Issuer (collectively, the "Stockholders") entered into a
Second Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement (the "Shareholders
Agreement") and an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the
"Registration Rights Agreement"), in each case on July 30, 1999. The terms of
the Shareholders Agreement cover the Preferred Stock, the Common Stock and the
Junior Preferred Stock and provide, among other things, that: (i) the
Stockholders are prohibited from making certain acquisitions, effecting
certain dispositions and taking certain other actions for a standstill period
of ten years from July 30, 1999 (subject to the earlier termination of such
period in certain circumstances), (ii) the Reporting Persons and the Apollo
Purchasers will have the right to designate a maximum of five directors to the
board of directors of the Issuer, subject to reduction if the Reporting
Persons and the Apollo Purchasers collectively decrease their ownership of
shares by specified percentages, for ten years from July 30, 1999 and (iii)
each Stockholder agrees to vote its voting securities of the Issuer to elect
the directors nominated by the Reporting Persons and the Apollo Purchasers
and, in connection with any proposal for a Reorganization Transaction (as
defined in the Shareholders Agreement), in the manner recommended by a
majority of the board of directors of the Issuer. The Registration Rights
Agreement provides to the holders of Registrable Securities (as defined
therein) certain incidental registration rights in the event of public
issuances of the Issuer's capital stock and certain demand registration rights
and sets forth certain cutback allocations among holders of Registrable
Securities in the event of an underwritten distribution.

          The Investors also entered into the Amended and Restated Investment
Agreement, dated as of July 30, 1999 (the "Investment Agreement"), which
further defines and allocates the rights and obligations of the Investors
under the Shareholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

          The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the
Shareholders Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Investment
Agreement and the Certificates of Designation of the Preferred Stock and the
Junior Preferred Stock, each of which has been incorporated by reference
herein as described in the Exhibit Index attached.

          The Reporting Persons retain the right to change their investment
intent, to propose one or more possible transaction to the Issuer's board, to
acquire additional shares of preferred stock or Common Stock from time to time
or to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of the Preferred Stock, Junior
Preferred Stock

or Common Stock beneficially owned or acquired by them in any manner permitted
by law. In the event of a material change in the present plans or intentions
of the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons will further amend this
Schedule 13D to reflect such change.

admission that the Reporting Persons and any other persons or entities
constitute a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. Further, the Reporting
Persons disclaim any pecuniary interest in any securities of the Issuer held
by any other person or entity.

          Item 6 is hereby further amended by deleting the paragraph:

                  "It is expected that a final allocation of the equity
          commitment by BCP III will be made among Blackstone prior to the
          closing of the Acquisition. The number of shares reported on the
          cover pages to this Schedule 13D excludes any shares of Preferred
          Stock, which have not yet been created or issued."
