Explanation of Responses: |
1. The Reporting Person holds an indirect pecuniary interest in BCIP Associates III LLC, which is a passive member of Bain Capital (Europe) LLC. |
2. The 2003 Convertible Preferred Stock is immediately convertible at the option of the holder. The Warrants are currently exercisable at the exercise price of $13.02 per share of Common Stock. |
3. There is no expiration date. |
4. Calculated by dividing the face value and accrued dividends (through December 29, 2004) by the conversion price. |
5. Calculated by multiplying the number of warrants (5,000) times the number of shares of Common Stock (11.194) issuable upon exercise of the warrants. |
6. Purchase price per share of 2003 Convertible Preferred Stock was $1,331.66 (reflecting $1,000 face amount per share plus further dividend accrual through December 29, 2004, the trade settlement date, the exercise price to convert the Preferred Stock and the value of the Common Stock). |
7. No value was allocated to the warrants by the December 29, 2004 Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the securities disclosed in this Form 4 were transferred to the Reporting Person (the "Purchase Agreement"). The lack of such consideration reflects the fact that the exercise price of $13.02 per Common Share exceeds the current market price at which Common Shares are currently traded over the counter ($.90 per share of Common Stock as of Dec. 23, 2004). |
