* If the form is filed by more than one Reporting Person, see Instruction 4(b)(v). (1) Reflects change in form of beneficial ownership of 2,957,468 shares as a result of pro rata distribution by ATI Holdings, LLC and Cook Street, LLC. These shares have been previously reported as beneficially owned by the reporting person, and therefore these transactions do not represent an increase in the number of shares beneficially owned. (2) These shares were temporarily assigned to a trust for the benefit of the reporting person during December 2002, but such shares were automatically distributed back to the reporting person on or about January 31, 2003 pursuant to the terms of the trust document. Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
