The names, citizenship, business addresses and principal occupations of each of the directors and executive officers of Perry Corp. (other than Richard C.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION: The Shares were acquired in the ordinary course of business by two or more private investment funds managed by Perry Corp. This Schedule 13D is being filed as a result of the July 5, 2005 (the "Event Date") announcement of a proposed merger by parties unrelated to Perry Corp. which, if consummated, would result in a change in control of the Issuer. Although the proposed merger involves parties unrelated to Perry Corp., as a result of the announcement, Perry Corp. could be deemed, as of the Event Date, to hold the Shares with the effect of changing or influencing control of the Issuer. Perry Corp. may engage in communication with respect to the terms and conditions of the proposed merger with the Issuer and other stockholders of the Issuer or with other third parties, including the Issuer's proposed merger partner or its affiliates. Perry Corp. reviews its holdings of the Issuer on an ongoing basis.

Except as otherwise described herein, none of Perry Corp., Richard C. Perry or the persons listed on Schedule B have any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the transactions or changes contemplated in Items 4(a) through 4(j) of Schedule 13D. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER: (a)-(b) Perry Corp. is the indirect beneficial owner of 4,925,200 Shares, which constitutes approximately 7.99% of the Issuer's outstanding shares, based upon 61,609,494 Shares outstanding as of July 5, 2005. Perry Corp. has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of the 4,925,200 Shares. By virtue of his position as President and sole stockholder of Perry Corp., Richard C. Perry may be considered to indirectly beneficially own such Shares. (c) See Exhibit B attached hereto. The transactions set forth on Exhibit B were made by private investment funds for which Perry Corp. acts as a general partner and/or investment adviser within the past 60 days. (d) The limited partners of (or investors in) each of two or more private investment funds for which Perry Corp. acts as general partner and/or investment adviser have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares held for the accounts of their respective funds in accordance with their respective limited partnership interests (or investment percentages) in their respective funds.
