		EXHIBIT (99.2)
		ITEM 4 INFORMATION
		*In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No.
		34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the "Release"), this filing reflects the securities
		beneficially owned by certain operating units (collectively, the "Goldman Sachs

		(ii) certain investment entities of which the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units
		act as the general partner, managing general partner or other manager, to the
		extent interests in such entities are held by persons other than the Goldman
		Sachs Reporting Units.
