ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
         --------------------------

         (a)(A) On December 8, 1999, Dr. Zwan entered into a forward sale
          agreement (the "Zwan Agreement") relating to up to 1,000,000 shares
         (the "Base Amount") of Common Stock. The Zwan Agreement provides that
         Dr. Zwan will deliver on December 8, 2004 (the "Maturity Date") a
         number of shares of Common Stock (or, at the option of Dr. Zwan, the
         cash equivalent of such shares) equal  to the product of (1) the Base
         Amount and (2) the Exchange Rate, which will be determined as follows:

                  (i)      If the average closing price (the "Maturity Price")
                           of the Common Stock on the 20 trading days beginning
                           30 trading days prior to the Maturity Date is less
                           than or equal to $31.5505 (the "Issue Price"), the
                           Exchange Rate will be one;

                  (ii)     If the Maturity Price is greater than the Issue Price
                           but less than $37.8606 (the "Threshold Price"), the
                           Exchange Rate will be equal to the Issue Price
                           divided by the Maturity Price; and

                  (iii)    If the Maturity Price is equal to or greater than the
                           Threshold Price, the Exchange Rate will be .8333.

         Pursuant to the Zwan Agreement, Dr. Zwan received a purchase  price
         of $23,790,580. In connection with the Zwan Agreement, Dr. Zwan entered
         into the Pledge Agreement dated December 8, 1999 among Dr. Zwan, CSFB
         SAILS Corp. and Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation. Up to 1,000,000
         shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by Dr. Zwan are subject
         to this pledge agreement. See Item 7 below.

         (B) On February 9, 2000, ZG Partnership entered into a binding term
         sheet outlining the terms of forward sale arrangements with respect to
         1,500,000 shares of Common Stock. On March 1, 2000, ZG Partnership
         entered into a forward sale agreement ("Agreement I") relating to up to
         750,000 shares (the "Base Amount") of Common Stock. Agreement I
         provides that ZG Partnership will deliver on March 1, 2005 (the
         "Maturity Date") a number of shares of Common Stock (or, at the option
         of ZG Partnership, the cash equivalent of such shares) equal to
         the product of (i) the Base Amount and (ii) the Exchange Rate, which
         will be determined as follows:

                  (a)  If the average closing price (the "Maturity Price") of
                       the Common Stock on the 20 trading days beginning 30
                       trading days prior to the Maturity Date is less than or
                       equal to $63.095 (the "Issue Price"), the Exchange Rate

                       but less than $77.268 (the "Threshold Price"), the

        product of (i) the Base Amount and (ii) the Exchange Rate, which will be
        determined as follows:

                  (a)  If the average closing price (the "Maturity Price") of
