Item 10. Certification. By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were acquired and are held in the ordinary course of business and were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect. - -------------------------- (1) As of May 7, 1999, The Goldman Sachs Group, L.P. was merged with and into The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group"), with GS Group as the surviving entity. (2) In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998), this filing reflects the fact that GS Group and Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs") will no longer report the beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by the asset management division of Goldman Sachs (the "Asset Management Division"). The Asset Management Division will separately report, to the extent required, its beneficial ownership of securities. (3) GS Group and Goldman Sachs each disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by (i) any client accounts with respect to which Goldman Sachs or employees of Goldman Sachs have voting or investment discretion, or both and (ii) certain investment entities, of which a subsidiary of GS Group or Goldman Sachs is the general partner, managing general partner or other manager, to the extent interests in such entities are held by persons other than GS Group, Goldman Sachs or their affiliates.
