              who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1%
              threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation
              of their investment philosophy may from time to time require
              action which could be viewed as not completely passive. In order
              to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is
              being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
              investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these
              persons have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on
              the more detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form
              Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than
              is necessary. Effective October 10, 2000 John D. Race is a member
              of the Board of Directors of Issuer.

              Reporting Persons may be deemed to share power to vote and dispose

              (Gregory M. DePrince, John D. Race and Victor A. Zollo, Jr. with
              respect to all of the DRZ shares) and pursuant to investment
              advisory relationships with advisory clients. The shares reported
              above for sole power are attributable to investments by Gregory M.
              DePrince, John D. Race and Victor A. Zollo, Jr. on their own
              behalf. Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the

                  the sale of the securities in their respective accounts. To
                  the best of Reporting Person's knowledge, other than the
                  shares reported herein, no person has such interest relating
                  to more than 5% of the outstanding class of securities.

              (e) Ownership of Less than Five Percent:

                  Not applicable.

              the disposition of the securities in the advisory accounts. All
              such agreements are, however, revocable. All the advisory
              agreements are pursuant to a standard form.
