Item 4.           Ownership.

     The Filing Persons believe that there are 73,896,844 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as of January 31, 2004. Based on such number of outstanding shares,
the Filing Persons report the following holdings of Common Stock and
corresponding percentage interest of total shares outstanding:

     Taubman beneficially owns 1,797,464 shares of Common Stock or 2.43% of the
outstanding class of Common Stock prior to the aggregation of the shares of
Common Stock beneficially held by the Taubman Trust (as described below).

     The Taubman Trust beneficially owns 1,297,266 shares of Common Stock or
1.76% of the outstanding class of Common Stock prior to the aggregation of the
shares of Common Stock beneficially held by Taubman (as described below).

     The Filing Persons, FS Equity Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("FS Stockholder"), Peter J. Fontaine, an individual ("Fontaine"),
Fontaine Industries Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership ("Fontaine
Partnership"), and the Peter J. Fontaine Revocable Trust, a Florida Revocable
Trust (together with Fontaine and the Fontaine Partnership, the "Fontaine
Parties") are parties to an Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Stockholders
Agreement dated as of February 6, 2002 ("Amendment No. 2"). Information
regarding Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement
dated November 28, 2001 ("Amendment No. 1") and the Amended and Restated
Stockholders Agreement dated November 2, 1998 (the "Restated Stockholders
Agreement" and together with Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the "Amended
Stockholders Agreement") were disclosed previously by the Filing Persons in
their initial Schedule 13G report.

     The Filing Parties previously reported that as a result of the Amended
Stockholders Agreement, the Filing Persons together with the FS Stockholder and
the Fontaine Parties may have been deemed to constitute a group within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, and the Filing Persons may have
been deemed to share beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned or deemed to be owned by the FS Stockholder and the Fontaine
Parties (except, with respect to the Fontaine Parties, 1,028 shares beneficially
owned by Fontaine that are not subject to the Stockholders Agreement). The
provisions of the Amended Stockholders Agreement pursuant to which the Filing
Persons may have been deemed to share voting power with the FS Stockholder and
the Fontaine Parties are no longer effective with respect to the FS Stockholder
and the Fontaine Parties, and accordingly, the Filing Persons are no longer
deemed to have any beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock owned or
deemed to be owned by the FS Stockholder and the Fontaine Parties.

     The beneficial ownership of the Filing Persons who may be deemed to
constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act
