("GSAM LP"). GSAM LP, an investment advisor, disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities managed, on GSAM LP's behalf, by third parties.

Beginning on or about April 26, 2003, GSAM LP assumed all, or substantially all of the rights and responsibilities of GSAM under the terms of its advisory agreements. The full assumption is expected to be completed by the close of the first quarter of 2004.
