The shares of Common Stock purchased by Vinik Partners were purchased with the investment capital of the entity. The shares of Common Stock purchased on behalf of Vinik Overseas and the Discretionary Account were purchased with their investment capital. The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Vinik Partners, Vinik Overseas and the Discretionary Account are held in margin accounts maintained at Morgan Stanley & Co.

Since other securities are held in such margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used with respect to the shares of Common Stock purchased. Currently, the interest rate charged on such various margin accounts is approximately 6.0% per annum. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION. The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes, and the Reporting Persons intend to evaluate the performance of such securities as an investment in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Persons pursue an investment objective that seeks capital appreciation. In pursuing this investment objective, the Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which they invest, including the Company, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management). Each Reporting Person will continuously assess the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Company's securities in particular, other developments and other investment opportunities. Depending on such assessments, one or more of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its holdings of shares of Common Stock. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for such Common Stock, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, alternate investment opportunities, and general economic, financial market and industry conditions. None of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
