ownership. Each of Messrs. Kingsley and Duberstein, as general partners of
Greenhouse, may be deemed to beneficially own Shares which Greenhouse may be
deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Kingsley and Duberstein disclaims
beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.

            Greenhut, as the general partner of Greentree, may be deemed to own
beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) Shares which Greentree may be deemed to possess direct
beneficial ownership. Each of Messrs. Kingsley and Duberstein, as members of
Greenhut, may be deemed to beneficially own Shares which Greenhut may be deemed

            Greenbelt has direct beneficial ownership of the Shares in the
accounts which it manages. In addition, Greenbelt is the investment advisor for
Greenland Investment Company Limited, a Cayman Islands company ("Greenland"). In
such capacity, Greenbelt has the right to vote and direct the disposition of the
205,000 Shares held by Greenland and, consequently, has direct beneficial
ownership of such Shares. Substantially all of the equity interests in Greenland
are owned by Strategic Investment Partners Limited ("SIPL"). Because SIPL has
the right to elect to terminate its investment in Greenland upon less than 60
days' notice and, upon such termination, all securities held by Greenland would
be sold by Greenland or, with SIPL's consent, distributed to SIPL in kind, SIPL
could be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares held by Greenland.
Information concerning SIPL and the identity and background of certain
individuals and entities related thereto is set forth on Exhibit 2 to the
Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference. Each of Messrs. Kingsley and
Duberstein, as executive officers and directors of Greenbelt, may be deemed to
beneficially own Shares which Greenbelt beneficially owns. Each of Messrs.
Kingsley and Duberstein disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all
other purposes.

            (b) Greenway has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of
1,550,700 Shares and the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of
such Shares. Greenhouse and Messrs. Kingsley and Duberstein may be deemed to
share with Greenway the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to
direct the disposition of such Shares.

            Greentree has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 1,040,000
Shares and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of such Shares.

the disposition of such Shares.

Shares and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of such Shares.
Greenhut Overseas and Messrs. Kingsley and Duberstein may be deemed to share
with Greensea the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to
direct the disposition of such Shares.

<PAGE>
            Greenbelt has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 7,050,922
Shares held in managed accounts and the 205,000 Shares held by Greenland, and,
except as described in Item 5(a) with respect to Greenland, the sole power to
dispose or direct the disposition of all such Shares. Messrs. Kingsley and
Duberstein may be deemed to share with Greenbelt the power to vote or to direct
the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of such Shares.

            Kingsley has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 330,000
Shares and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of such Shares.

No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, whichever is less, is set forth in Exhibit 9 attached
hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

            (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, except the dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of Shares in
each respective account managed by Greenbelt or held by Greenland will be
delivered into each such respective account or Greenland, as the case may be.
Neither any such individual account nor Greenland has an interest in more than
five percent of the class of outstanding Shares.

            (e) Not applicable.
