Yeah, we were.

By the way, were you very

A.
9
No. I mean, I was -- from the
10 original projections of Alex Brown, we were
11
disappointed. But by the time the deal was
12 done, we realized that was the best transaction
13
we could do. We chopped the heck out of it.

Do you know what kind of bonus

you recall that?

I don't -- I don't remember what it
20 was. Now, remember that Dan basically served
21
as investment baner, in effect, and helped get
22 that deal done: Alex Brown really wasn't
23 getting it done. They had fallen down. And
24 they were the ones tellng us they would have

2 other value plays has been an absolutely
3 horrble area to invest in in the past few
4 years, whether you are talking about nursing
5 homes, you know, home care, you name it,
6 hospitals. So it's been a horrible IPO market
7 for heaIthcare, and a bad IPO market in general
8 and bad for healthcare.
9 Q. Did you consider, in the time
10 period beginning after Crowley came aboard in
11 November of'99, did you consider hiring an
12 investment banker to explore methods of

15 Q. Beginnng of
November, October or
16 November of '99.
17 A. Prior to Dan coming on board, Don
18 Ameral as chairman, was a pretty fervent
19 spokesman for the equity. Don pursued all sort
20 of things. He pursued a deal with American
21 Home Patient, he pursued a deal with Aprea

A. In July of 1999, we had altered it. Q~ Tell me about the alteration.
A. I was to work exclusively for Cerberus,
that I would have a three-year rolling contract,
that I would receive $80,000 a month plus expenses,
14 15
16
that I would be eligible to purchase some of his
position in companies in which we worked together, that I could bring companies tö him to look at,
17 18 19
that he would bring all of his companies that he
worked on to me to look at and that those companies
in which I worked, in which I improved the
20 21
22
23
companies, that I could participate in the upside
generally at 20 percent of his net gain after a
preferred return and his own expenses were taken
out and - - I mean, that's the general idea of what

we struck back in July of ' 99.

Q.
Mr. Crowley, what is your understanding

10
A.
They own 70 percent of the debt and
11 equity, generally speaking, in Winterland.

Q.
Who owns the rest of it? 30 percent was o~ned by Gordon Brothers,
A.
14 now Stepping Stone Capital.

16
A.
30 percent was owned by Gordon Brothers,
17 which is now Stepping Stone Capital. Both sides
18 are diluted by management options.
19
Q.
Is Stepping Stone Capital just a new
20 name for Gordon Brothers or is it new ownership
21 or - - do you know?
