Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
By letter dated October 25, 1999, the Registrant terminated
the engagement of Deloitte & Touche, LLP ("Deloitte") as the
Registrant's independent auditors, effective immediately. On
October 25, 1999, the Registrant engaged the independent
certified public accounting firm of Arthur Andersen, LLP to
audit the Registrant's consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1999. This change in accountants is
subject to the approval of and ratification by the Registrant's
Board of Directors.
Deloitte's report on the Registrant's consolidated
financial statements at and for each of the years in the two
year period ending December 31, 1998 did not contain any adverse
opinion, disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified
as to any uncertainty of the audit's scope or accounting
principles.
There were no disagreements between the Registrant and
Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure,
which disagreements, if not resolved to such accountant's
satisfaction, would have caused such accountant to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in
connection with its report on the consolidated financial
statements of the Registrant.
