to the Securities of the Issuer.
--------------------------------

          The  responses  set  forth in Items 4 and 5 of this  Schedule  13D are
incorporated herein.

          On  March  24,  2000,   the  Issuer   announced  a  proposed  Plan  of
Recapitalization  (the  "Recapitalization  Plan").  GSCP II proposed to purchase
shares of the capital stock of the Issuer pursuant to the Recapitalization Plan,
subject to various  terms and  conditions  imposed by GSCP II as well as various
terms and  conditions  imposed  by the  Issuer in  furtherance  of the  proposed
Recapitalization Plan. However, the Recapitalization Plan, and thus any proposed
investment by GSCP II, was abandoned on May 19, 2000. Purchases by the Reporting
Persons  of shares of the Common  Stock in open  market  brokerage  transactions
since  June 23,  2000 have been made  solely  for  investment  purposes  and not
pursuant  to the  abandoned  Recapitalization  Plan  or  pursuant  to any  other
contract, agreement, arrangement,  understanding or relationship with the Issuer
or any other person.

          Except  as  described  above,  there are no  contracts,  arrangements,
understandings or relationships  (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in
Item 2 or  between  such  persons  and any  other  person  with  respect  to any
securities of Issuer,  including  but not limited to,  transfer or voting of any
such  securities,  finder's fees, joint ventures,  loan or option  arrangements,
puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving
or withholding of proxies.
