Explanation of Responses:
(1) Centennial Holdings IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Holdings
IV"), is the sole
general partner of the Reporting Person, Centennial Fund IV, L.P. ("Fund IV").
By virtue of the
relationship described above, Holdings IV may be deemed to control Fund IV and
possess indirect
beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer directly beneficially held
by Fund IV. Steven C.
Halstedt, Jeffrey H. Schutz, Adam Goldman, Donald H. Parsons, Jr. and David C.
Hull, Jr. are the sole
general partners of Holdings IV (the "Individual Partners"). By virtue of the
relationship described
above and their roles with Fund IV and Holdings IV, each of the Individual
Partners may be deemed
to control Holdings IV and Fund IV and may be deemed to possess indirect
beneficial ownership of
the Issuer securities held by Fund IV. However, none of the Individual
Partners, acting alone, has
voting or investment power with respect to the Issuer securities directly
beneficially held by Fund IV,
and, as a result, each Individual Partner disclaims beneficial ownership of the
Issuer securities directly
beneficially owned by Fund IV. Each of the Individual Partners disclaims any
pecuniary interest in any
Issuer securities, other than to the extent of such Individual Partner's
indirect proportionate interest in
Fund
IV.
(2) On March 17, 1998, the Reporting Person and certain other
stockholders of the Issuer
invested an aggregate of $8 million in newly issued Class B Senior Redeemable
Preferred Stock
and warrants of the Issuer. The Reporting Person invested a total of
$169,000.50 of such amount.
