The percentages in this column were calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act on the basis of a total of 37,769,319 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 7, 2002, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2002 (the "Form 10-Q").

        On July 26, 2002, Investors entered into an amendment and waiver agreement (the "Waiver Agreement") with the Company pursuant to which the parties agreed that the 3.375% payment-in-kind dividends payable on the shares of Preferred Stock ceased to accrue after May 31, 2002 (except in certain limited circumstances), and that the Certificate of Designation in respect of the rights and preferences of the Preferred Stock would be amended accordingly (subject to stockholder approval).

        Under the Waiver Agreement, the Investors also agreed with the Company to amend their existing Registration Rights Agreement to modify the Investors' right to three demand registrations. As amended and restated as of July 26, 2002, the Registration Rights Agreement provides that each of the Bain Investors and the MDP Investors has the right to two demand registrations, which may consist of two underwritten public offering.

        Under the Waiver Agreement, the Investors and the Company agreed in addition to amend their existing Corporate Governance Agreement to modify the Investors' right to name two directors to the Company's board of directors. As amended and restated as of July 26, 2002, the Corporate Governance Agreement provides that the right of the Bain Investors or MDP Investors, as the case may be, to name one director to the Company's board will terminate as to the applicable Investor group if and when the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock held by such Investor group falls below 25% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the group's shares of Preferred Stock owned by such Investor group as of the purchase of those shares in November 1999.
