(1) We do not know if, when or in what amounts a selling securityholder
may offer securities for sale and we do not know that the selling
securityholders will sell any or all of the securities offered hereby. Because
the selling securityholders may offer all or some of the securities pursuant to
this prospectus, and because there are currently no other agreements,
arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the securities
that will be held by the selling securityholders, no estimate can be given as to
the amount of the securities that will be held by the selling securityholders
after completion of the offering made by this prospectus. However, for purposes
of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, no
securities will be held by the selling securityholders.
The date of this prospectus supplement is July 19, 2000.
