         As of the date of this statement, none of the Reporting Persons, or to

additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or may sell
or transfer shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them from time to time
in public or private transactions and/or may enter into privately negotiated
derivative transactions with institutional counterparties to hedge the market
risk of some or all of their positions in the shares of Common Stock or other
securities and/or may cause any of the Reporting Persons to distribute in kind
to their respective partners or members, as the case may be, shares of Common
Stock or other securities. Any such transactions may be effected at any time or
from time to time subject to (i) the restrictions contained in the Lock-Up
Agreements (described in Item 6) and (ii) any applicable limitations imposed on
the sale of any of their Company securities by the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities
Act") or other applicable law. To the knowledge of each Reporting Person, each
of the persons listed on Schedules I, II or III hereto may make similar
evaluations from time to time or on an ongoing basis and reserves the same
rights.

                                   SCHEDULE IV
                                   -----------

     On April 6, 2000, in connection with an industry-wide  investigation by the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "SEC")  relating  to the pricing of
government securities in advance refunding  transactions,  Goldman,  Sachs & Co.
("Goldman Sachs") joined in a global settlement  resolving the SEC investigation
as well as a related qui tam lawsuit purportedly brought on behalf of the United
States entitled United States ex rel.  Lissack v. Goldman,  Sachs & Co., et al.,
95 Civ. 1363 (S.D.N.Y.)(BSJ).  Pursuant to the settlement,  without admitting or
denying  the  findings,  Goldman  Sachs  consented  to  the  issuance  of an SEC
administrative  order (SEA Rel. No. 42640) which, among other things, found that
Goldman Sachs had violated  Sections  17(a)(2) and (3) of the  Securities Act of
1933 in connection with such pricing of government securities,  required Goldman
Sachs to cease and desist from violating such  provisions,  and ordered  Goldman
Sachs to make payments totaling  approximately $5.1 Million to the U.S. Treasury
and $104,000 to two  municipalities.  Under the global  settlement,  the qui tam
lawsuit was dismissed with  prejudice,  and the Internal  Revenue Service agreed
not to challenge the tax-free  nature of the refundings by virtue of the pricing
of such securities.

     In November 2002, the SEC, the National  Association of Securities  Dealers
("NASD") and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE") alleged that five broker
dealers, including Goldman Sachs, violated Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and
Rule  17a-4  hereunder,  NYSE  Rules 440 and 342 and NASD Rules 3010 and 3110 by
allegedly  failing to preserve  electronic mail  communications  for three years
and/or to preserve  electronic mail communications for the first two years in an
accessible  place, and by allegedly having  inadequate  supervisory  systems and
procedures  in relation to the  retention  of  electronic  mail  communications.
Without admitting or denying the allegations, the five broker dealers, including
Goldman  Sachs,  consented  to  censure  by the  SEC,  NASD  and NYSE and to the
imposition of a cease-and-desist order by the SEC and Goldman Sachs paid a total
fine of $1,650,000 ($550,000 each to the SEC, NASD and NYSE). Goldman Sachs also
undertook to review its procedures regarding the preservation of electronic mail
communications  for compliance with the federal  securities laws and regulations
and the rules of the NASD and NYSE, and to confirm within a specified  period of
time that it has  established  systems  and  procedures  reasonably  designed to
achieve compliance with those laws, regulations and rules.

     On April 28, 2003, without admitting or denying  liability,  ten investment
banking firms including Goldman Sachs,  entered into global settlements with the
SEC,  the NYSE,  the NASD and  certain  states  to  resolve  the  investigations
relating to equity  research  analyst  conflicts of interest.  Goldman Sachs was
charged with  violating NYSE Rules 342, 401, 472 and 475, and NASD Conduct Rules
2110, 2210 and 3010.  Goldman Sachs also agreed to a censure by the NYSE and the
NASD and to pay a total  of  $110,000,000  and to  adopt a set of  industry-wide
reforms of its research and investment  banking  businesses and to adopt certain
restrictions  on the  allocations  of "hot" IPO shares.  The terms of the global
settlement were entered in an order by a federal court in the Southern  District
of New York on October 31, 2003 (Civil Action Number 03CV2944).

     On  September  4, 2003,  Goldman  Sachs and the SEC settled  administrative
proceedings  relating to certain trading in U.S. Treasury  securities by Goldman
Sachs on the morning of October  31,  2001.  The Staff of the SEC  alleged  that
Goldman Sachs violated (i) Section  15(c)(1) and Rule 15c1-2 of the Exchange Act
as a result of certain  trading  in U.S.  Treasury  bonds  over an eight  minute
period on October  31,  2001;  and (ii)  Section  15(f) of the  Exchange  Act by
failing to  maintain  policies  and  procedures  specifically  addressed  to the





possible  misuse of non-public  information  obtained from outside  consultants.
Under the Offer of  Settlement  submitted  by Goldman  Sachs and accepted by the
SEC, without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, Goldman Sachs consented
to the entry of an Order that,  among other things,  (i) censured Goldman Sachs;
(ii) directed  Goldman Sachs to cease and desist from  committing or causing any
violations  of  Section  15(c)(1)(A)  & (C) and  15(f)  and Rule  15c1-2  of the
Exchange Act; (iii) ordered  Goldman Sachs to pay  disgorgement  and prejudgment
interest  in the  amount  of  $1,742,642,  and a civil  monetary  penalty  of $5
million;  and (iv)  directed  Goldman Sachs to conduct a review its policies and
procedures  and  to  adopt,  implement  and  maintain  policies  and  procedures
consistent  with the Order and that review.  Goldman Sachs also undertook to pay
$2,562,740  in  disgorgement  and interest  relating to certain  trading in U.S.
Treasury bond futures during the same eight minute period.

     On  July  1,  2004,  Goldman  Sachs  and  the  SEC  settled  administrative
proceedings  relating to communications  from Goldman Sachs sales traders on its
Asian  Shares  Sales  Desk to  certain  institutional  customers  and news media
concerning four  international  public  securities  offerings  during the period
between  October 1999 and March 2000.  The SEC alleged (i) that certain of these
communications  by Goldman  Sachs  employees  were made  after the  registration
statements  pertaining  to those  offerings  were  filed,  but not yet  declared
effective by the SEC, in violation of Section 5(b) of the Securities Act of 1933
(the  "Securities  Act"),  and (ii) that  certain  comments to the news media by
Goldman Sachs with respect to one of the offerings  constituted an offer to sell
securities  in  violation of Section  5(c) of the  Securities  Act. The SEC also
alleged that Goldman Sachs failed to adequately supervise the Asian Shares Sales
Desk traders,  as required by Section 15(b)(4)(E) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.  Under the Offer of Settlement  submitted by Goldman Sachs and accepted
by the SEC, without  admitting or denying the SEC's  allegations,  Goldman Sachs
consented to the entry of an Order that,  among other things,  directed  Goldman
Sachs to cease and desist from  committing or causing any violations of Sections
5(b) and 5(c) of the  Securities  Act, and ordered  Goldman Sachs to pay a civil
monetary penalty of $2 million.
