behalf of Saugatuck Associates II,
Inc. ("Saugatuck"), which may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the
reported Shares. By virtue of the
foregoing relationships, the reporting person may be deemed to have an indirect
pecuniary interest in the Shares
to the extent of his proportionate interest in Saugatuck; however, the
