holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, holders of the
common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert
their common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are, and all shares of common stock to be outstanding upon the closing of this
offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Additional shares of authorized common stock may be issued, as authorized by our board of

without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and relative participating, optional or special rights and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. The board of
directors, without stockholder approval, can issue preferred stock with voting, conversion or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock could thus be issued quickly
with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock and may
adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and reduce the likelihood that common stockholders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. </FONT></P> <P

with this conversion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Series&nbsp;B Preferred Stock.</I>&nbsp;There are currently 3,327 shares of Series B preferred stock outstanding.

a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B preferred stock, voting together as a separate class, we may not authorize or issue shares of any class or series of stock, or reclassify any class or series of stock, into shares having preference or
priority over the Series&nbsp;B preferred stock as to voting, liquidation preference or conversion rights; and (ii)&nbsp;to determine the fair market value of any securities delivered to the holders of the Series B preferred stock pursuant to a
transaction treated as a liquidation of the Company. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of our company, before any payment or distribution of assets shall be made to the holders of common stock or any other class or series of stock
ranking junior to the Series&nbsp;B preferred stock with respect to liquidation preference, the holders of Series&nbsp;B preferred stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the company an amount per share of Series&nbsp;B preferred

divided by 100. However, in the event that the approval of our stockholders is required pursuant to Rule&nbsp;4460(i)&nbsp;prior to the issuance of any of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series&nbsp;B preferred stock, we
must obtain such approval by the conversion date, or, if such approval is not obtained, we must redeem any shares of Series&nbsp;B preferred stock that would be convertible into shares of common stock in excess of the limitation specified in

effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of our company. First, our board of directors is classified into three classes of directors. Under Delaware law, directors of a corporation with a
classified board may be removed only for cause unless the corporation&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Restated Certificate does not provide otherwise. In addition, the Restated Certificate provides that all stockholder
action must be effected at a duly called meeting of stockholders and not by a consent in writing. Further, our Bylaws limit who may call special meetings of the stockholders. Our Restated Certificate does not include a provision for cumulative
voting for directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient percentage of a class of shares may be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. Finally, our Bylaws establish procedures, including advance
notice procedures, with regard to the nomination of candidates for election as directors and stockholder proposals. These and other provisions of our Restated Certificate and Bylaws and Delaware law could discourage potential acquisition proposals

date of November&nbsp;23, 1999 to our stockholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one one-hundredth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, at a
price of $170 per one one-hundredth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment, or the Purchase Price. Each one one-hundredth of a share of Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock has designations and
powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions which make its value approximately equal to the value of a share of our common stock. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in that certain Rights
Agreement, dated as of November&nbsp;3, 1999 entered into between the Company and Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., as rights agent. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

public announcement that a person, entity or group of affiliated or associated persons have acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock (such acquiring person, entity or group of affiliated or associated
persons being called an Acquiring Person) or (b)&nbsp;10 business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of our board of directors prior to such time as any person or entity becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement
of, or announcement of an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any person or entity becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being called the Distribution Date), the Rights
will be evidenced, with respect to any of the common stock certificates outstanding as of the record date, by such common stock certificate with or without a copy of the Summary of Rights, which is included in the Rights Agreement as Exhibit C
thereof. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Until the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable with and only with the shares of our common stock subject to the

the Rights Agreement by reference. Until the Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the surrender or transfer of any certificates for shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date, even without such
notation or a copy of the Summary of Rights being attached thereto, will also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares of common stock represented by such certificate. As soon as practicable following the Distribution Date,
separate certificates evidencing the Rights, or Rights Certificates, will be mailed to holders of record of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the close of business on the Distribution Date and such separate Right Certificates alone will

this purpose as the &#147;holders&#148; of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own
names, as &#147;indirect holders&#148; of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders. </FONT></P> <P

book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of
other financial institutions that participate in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their
customers. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Global securities will be
registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The
depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another
or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As a result, investors in a global security
will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary&#146;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a
participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not legal holders, of the securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Street

choose to hold their securities in their own names or in &#147;street name.&#148; Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the
investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For
securities held in street name, we or any applicable trustee or depositary will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we
or any such trustee or depositary will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer
agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
