The Reporting Persons were realizing a return on their investment by selling a portion of their holdings in the Issuer. The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their investment in the Issuer, and the Reporting Persons may decide to increase or decrease their investment in the Issuer depending upon the price and availability of the Issuer's securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer's business and prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, general stock market and economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors.

In the Secondary Offering, the Reporting Persons offered 5,450,090 shares of Issuer Common Stock, decreasing its percentage of Issuer Common Stock beneficially owned from 63.52% to 50.21%. NXS transferred all 97,580 shares of Issuer Common Stock previously held by it to KKR 1996 Fund; accordingly, NXS is no longer a beneficial owner of Issuer Common Stock. CUSIP No. 032095 10 1 Page 14 of 17 Pages Under the definition of "beneficial ownership" as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), NXS Associates, KKR Partners II and KKR 1996 Fund, KKR Associates 1996, KKR 1996 LLC, KKR Associates, KKR Associates (NXS), Strata LLC, KKR-NXS L.L.C. may be deemed to beneficially own, as a group, the shares, constituting in the aggregate approximately 50.21% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock.

Individually, KKR 1996 Fund, KKR Partners II and NXS Associates own 16,322,347, 142,972 and 4,416,181 shares, respectively, of Issuer Common Stock. The 20,881,400 shares presently owned constitute 50.21% of the Issuer Common Stock following the Secondary Offering. KKR 1996 Fund, acting through its sole general partner, KKR Associates 1996, has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the shares of Issuer Common Stock which it owns directly. As a result, KKR Associates 1996 may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Issuer Common Stock that KKR 1996 Fund may beneficially own or be deemed to beneficially own. NXS Associates, acting through its sole general partner, KKR Associates (NXS), has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the shares of Issuer Common Stock which it owns directly.

KKR Partners II, acting through its sole general partner KKR Associates, has the sole power to vote or direct the voting of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the shares of Issuer Common Stock that it owns directly. As a result, KKR Associates may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Issuer Common Stock that KKR Partners II may beneficially own or be deemed to beneficially own. Strata LLC, as sole general partner of KKR Associates, may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Issuer Common Stock that KKR Associates may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs.

Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 2 to the Reporting Persons' Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of Issuer Common Stock referred to in this paragraph for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purposes, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. Except as set forth in this Item 5, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons as of the date hereof, (i) none of the Reporting Persons and no other person described in Item 2 hereof has beneficial ownership of, or has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in, any shares of Issuer Common Stock. CUSIP No. 032095 10 1 Page 15 of 17 Pages Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements or Understandings with respect to Securities of the Issuer.
