Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     In October 1998, WPEP acquired shares of preferred stock of the Company,
for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $29.3 million. Those shares
were subsequently converted into shares of Common Stock in connection with the
Company's initial public offering. On June 26, 2000, WPEP and other strategic
investors entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company (the
"Securities Purchase Agreement"), attached hereto as Exhibit 2, pursuant to
which WPEP and the other investors granted the Company an irrevocable option to
cause WPEP and the other investors to purchase, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, an aggregate of up to 2,187,289
shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $6.8578 per share. Under the terms
of the Securities Purchase Agreement, WPEP is obligated to purchase up to
1,312,373 shares of Common Stock. The Company may exercise the option in whole
or in part on only one occasion by giving written notice to WPEP and the other
investors not earlier than 80 nor more than 140 days after June 26, 2000. In the
event the Company exercises the option, the closing of such sales and purchases
is subject to customary conditions, including the termination or expiration of
any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

     In consideration for granting the option to the Company, WPEP and the other
investors received warrants from the Company to purchase shares of Common Stock
at a purchase price of $6.8578 per share. The warrant granted to WPEP to acquire
up to 416,390 shares of Common Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 3. The
warrant is exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part,
by WPEP until June 26, 2005.

     The purchases by WPEP of Common Stock were effected because of the
Reporting Entities' belief that the Company represented, and that the Company
continues to represent, an attractive investment. WP has followed the Company
and the industry for many years. WP views the investment as attractive based on
the Company's business prospects and strategy, and is very supportive of the
management team and its ability to execute this strategy. The Reporting Entities
may from time to time acquire additional shares of the Company or engage in
discussions with the Company concerning further acquisitions of shares of the
Company or further investments by them in the Company. The Reporting


                                       8

<PAGE>


Entities intend to review their investment in the Company on a continuing basis
and, depending upon the price and availability of shares of Common Stock,
subsequent developments affecting the Company, the Company's business and
prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to the
Reporting Entities, general stock market and economic conditions, tax
considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide at any time to
increase, or to decrease, the size of their investment in the Company.

     Except as set forth in this statement none of the Reporting Entities nor,
to the best of their knowledge, any person listed in Schedule I hereto, has any
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by
any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of
securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of
Directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to
change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the
board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company's business or
corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter, By-laws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of
securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or
to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of
the Company becoming eligible


                                       9

<PAGE>


for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange
Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a) As of July 6, 2000 WPEP, WP and EMW each beneficially owned 8,180,585
shares of Common Stock. By reason of their respective relationships with WPEP,
each of the Reporting Enitities may be deemed under Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act to own beneficially all of the shares of Common Stock which WPEP
beneficially owns.

     The 8,180,585 shares of Common Stock represented approximately 45.5% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on the 17,557,008 shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of June 26, 2000, as represented by the Company in the
Securities Purchase Agreement.

     In addition, under the Securities Purchase Agreement as described in Item
4, the Company has the right to require WPEP to purchase, subject to the terms
and conditions of that agreement, up to 1,312,373 shares of Common Stock at
$6.8578 per share.

     (b) Each of the Reporting Entities has sole power to dispose or to direct
the disposition with respect to the 8,180,585 shares and all shares acquired by
WPEP.

     (c) Except for the transaction described in Item 4, during the last sixty
days there were no transactions effected by the Reporting Entities or by any of
the persons set forth on Schedule I hereto.


                                       10

     (d) Except as set forth in this Item 5, no person other than each
respective record owner referred to herein of securities is known to have the
right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
proceeds from the sale of, such securities.

     (e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
        Securities of the Issuer.

     Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Reporting
Entities have entered into an agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 1, with
respect to the joint filing of this statement, and any amendment or amendments
hereto.

     A Securities Purchase Agreement by and among the WPEP, Riverside
Partnership, Third Point Partners L.P., Third Point Offshore Fund Ltd., Points
West International Investments Ltd. and the Company was entered into on June 26,
2000 and is described herein in Item 4, supra. A warrant was issued by the
Company to WPEP on June 26, 2000 in connection with the execution of the
Securities Purchase Agreement and is described herein in Item 4, supra.

     In connection with this transaction, a Third Amendment to Registration
Agreement was also entered into by the Company and WPEP on that date. This
Agreement contains standard provisions found in agreements of such type,
