    This Amendment No. 6 amends the information contained in the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Cap Gemini S.A. ("CG") and Cap Gemini America, Inc. (formerly named Cap Gemini Holding, Inc.) ("CGA" and collectively with CG the "Reporting Purchasers") on April 20, 1999, as amended from time to time, and is being filed on behalf of such persons pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

Item 3.    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

    Item 3 is amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following text:

    The amount of the funds used by CG to purchase 2,125,268 HB Shares between March 23, 1999 and October 7, 1999 was approximately $15,833,087 including brokerage commissions. These funds were provided from CG’s working capital. The amount of the funds used by CGA to purchase 470,975 HB Shares in June, 1998 was approximately $12.5 million. These funds were provided from CGA’s working capital.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

    Item 4 is amended by adding the following:

    On September 27, 1999, HB issued a press release that stated that HB’s "Board of Directors retained Banc of America Securities LLC to assist the company in exploring strategic and financial alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including the potential sale or merger of the company". Since that time, representatives of the Reporting Purchasers have received inquiries from representatives of HB and Banc of America Securities LLC as to whether the Reporting Purchasers would be interested in participating in a process that could lead to the Reporting Purchasers acquiring control of HB. Management of the Reporting Purchasers are investigating the advisability of pursuing a transaction that could result in the Reporting Purchasers acquiring control of HB. The Reporting Purchasers have not yet determined, however, whether or not to seek to acquire control of HB and there can be no assurance that the Reporting Purchasers will seek to do so.

    Except as described above, none of the Reporting Purchasers has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

    Item 5 is amended by deleting sub-Items (a), (b) and (c) in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

  1. CG directly and beneficially owns 2,125,268 HB Shares, which represents 12.9% of the outstanding HB Shares. CGA directly and beneficially owns 470,975 HB Shares, which represents 2.9% of the outstanding HB Shares. Because CG owns all of the capital stock of CGA, CG may be deemed to beneficially own the HB Shares held CGA. CGA disclaims beneficial ownership of the HB Shares held by CG.

  2. CG has the sole power to vote and dispose of 2,125,268 HB Shares. CGA has the sole power to vote and dispose of 470,975 HB Shares.

  3. CG has engaged in the following transactions in the HB Shares on The Nasdaq Stock Market:
