Item 4. Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

         (a) Previous independent public accountants.

              (i)   On June 13, 2000, the Registrant dismissed Deloitte & Touche
                    LLP, which served as the Registrant's independent public
                    accountants since 1995.

              (ii)  The reports issued by Deloitte & Touche LLP on the
                    Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal years ended
                    December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 did not contain an
                    adverse opinion nor a disclaimer of opinion, and were not
                    qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
                    accounting principles.

              (iii) The Registrant's Board of Directors approved the decision to
                    change independent public accountants.

              (iv)  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999 and December
                    31, 1998 and the interim period through June 13, 2000, there
                    were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche LLP on any
                    matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
                    statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
                    disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
                    Deloitte & Touche LLP, would have caused Deloitte & Touche
                    LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the
                    disagreements in connection with its reports for such years.

              (v)   On March 10, 2000, Deloitte & Touche LLP advised the
                    Company's Audit Committee that, in connection with their
                    audit of the consolidated financial statements of the
                    Company for the year ended December 31, 1999, they noted a
                    matter involving the Company's internal control and its
                    operation that they considered to be a reportable condition
                    under standards established by the American Institute of
                    Certified Public Accountants. The reportable condition noted
                    by Deloitte & Touche LLP related to personnel staffing in
                    the accounting function. Deloitte & Touche LLP deemed the
                    matter noted above to be a material weakness. The Company
                    has authorized Deloitte & Touche LLP to respond fully to the
                    inquiries of KPMG LLP, the successor accountants, with
                    respect to such matter.

                    Except as noted above, during the fiscal years ended
                    December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and the interim
                    period through June 13, 2000, there have been no reportable
                    events (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(I)(v)).

              (vi)  The Registrant has requested that Deloitte & Touche LLP
                    furnish it with a letter addressed to the Commission stating
                    whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy
                    of such letter, dated June 20, 2000, is filed as Exhibit
                    16.1 to this Form 8-K.

         (b) New independent public accountants.

              The Registrant engaged KPMG LLP as its new independent public
              accountants as of June 13, 2000. The Registrant's Board of
              Directors approved this on June 13, 2000. During the two most
              recent fiscal years and through June 13, 2000, the Registrant has
              not consulted with KPMG LLP regarding either:

              (i)   the application of accounting principles to a specified
                    transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of
                    audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant's
                    financial statements; or

              (ii)  any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as
                    defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the
                    related instructions to this Item: or a reportable event
                    identified (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation
                    S-K and related instruction to this Item).
