Explanatory Notes:
1) The names of the reporting persons and the Designated Reporter changed
during the first week of January 2001 as a result of internal reorganizations
and name changes effective as of various times during the week. The internal
reorganizations and name changes did not alter the proportionate interests of
the ultimate security holders of the renamed entities.
2) The Designated Reporter is executing this report on behalf of all
Reporting Persons, each of whom has authorized it to do so; each of the
Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities to
the extent it exceeds such Person's pecuniary interest.
3) The amounts shown in Table I represent the beneficial ownership of the
Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC. The Reporting Person is the sole member
of JPM SBIC.
4) The amounts shown in Table I represent the beneficial ownership of the
Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC, a portion of which may be deemed
attributable to the Reporting Person because it is the sole general partner of
J.P. Morgan Partners (BHCA), L.P. ("JPM BHCA"), the sole member of JPM SBIC. The
actual pro rata portion of such beneficial ownership that may be deemed to be
attributable to the Reporting Person is not readily determinable because it is
subject to several variables, including the internal rate of return and vesting
of interests within JPM BHCA.
5) The amounts shown in Table I represent the beneficial ownership of the
Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC, a portion of which may be deemed
attributable to the Reporting Person because it is the general partner of JPMP
Master Fund Manager, L.P. ("MF Manager"), the general partner of JPM BHCA (the
parent of JPM SBIC). The actual pro rata portion of such beneficial ownership
that may be deemed to be attributable to the Reporting Person is not readily
determinable because it is subject to several variables, including the internal
rate of return and vesting of interests within JPM BHCA and MF Manager.
6) The amounts shown in Table I represent the beneficial ownership of the
Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC, a portion of which may be deemed
attributable to the Reporting Person because it is the sole stockholder of JPMP
Capital Corporation (the general partner of MF Manager) and of Chatham Ventures,
Inc., the limited partner of JPM BHCA. The actual pro rata portion of such
beneficial ownership that may be attributable to the Reporting Person is not
readily determinable because it is subject to several variables, including the
internal rate of return and vesting of interests within JPM BHCA and MF Manager.
7) The amounts shown in Table I represent the beneficial ownership of the
Issuer's equity securities by JPM SBIC, a portion of which may be deemed
attributable to the Reporting Person because it is the sole limited partner of
JPM BHCA, the parent of JPM SBIC. The actual pro rata portion of such beneficial
ownership that may be deemed to be attributable to the Reporting Person is not
readily determinable because it is subject to several variables, including the
internal rate of return and vesting of interests within JPM BHCA.
