Explanation of Responses:
(1) The Reporting Person is the Managing Member of MSCP III, LLC, which is the
General Partner of the following private equity funds which directly holds
shares of the issuer: Morgan Stanley Capital Partners III, L.P., Morgan
Stanley Capital Investors, L.P. and MSCP III 892 Investors, L.P. (the "MSCP
Funds"). The MSCP Funds and other entities affiliated with the Reporting
Person currently own an aggregate of approximately 34.65% of the Issuer's
equity securities. This excludes securities held by other parties covered
by a transaction agreement to which these funds are party (relating to a
voting agreement for the election of directors), because the MSCP Funds do
not have a pecuniary interest in such securities owned by other parties to
such transaction agreement. The Reporting Person disclaims any beneficial
ownership of any of the securities owned by the entities affiliated with
the Reporting Person except to the extent of any pecuniary interests
therein of the Reporting Person. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. is the
ultimate parent company of the Reporting Person.
