            (iv)  Shared Power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

                  416,229 shares of Common Stock.

            On December 30, 1998, Vencap entered into an agreement to transfer
            416,229 shares of Common Stock of the Company to Newco, its
            wholly-owned subsidiary. Upon completion of the documentation
            relating to such transfer, Newco will be the direct beneficial owner
            of the shares of Common Stock reported. Vencap owns all of the
            issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Newco. Onex, as
            the indirect beneficial owner of approximately 90% of the shares of
            Vencap, is an indirect beneficial owner of the shares reported. Mr.
            Schwartz is the indirect holder of all the issued and outstanding
            Multiple Voting Shares of Onex, which are entitled to elect sixty
            percent (60%) of the members of Onex' Board of Directors and carry
            such number of votes in the aggregate as represents 60% of the
            aggregate votes attached to all voting shares of Onex and is thus an
            indirect beneficial owner of the shares reported.
