______________  
   (1) It is unknown if, when or in what amounts a selling securityholder may offer securities for sale and we do not know that the selling securityholders will sell any or all of the securities offered hereby. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some of the securities pursuant to this prospectus, and because there are currently no other agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the securities that will be held by the selling securityholders, no estimate can be given as to the amount of the securities that will be held by the selling securityholders after completion of the offering made by this prospectus. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, no securities will be held by the selling securityholders.
 
   (2) The number of securities beneficially owned is determined under the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes any securities as to which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any securities which the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days after November 3, 2000 through the exercise of any stock option or other right. The inclusion in the table of securities, however, does not constitute an admission that the selling securityholders are direct or indirect beneficial owners of those securities. The selling securityholders have sole voting power and investment power with respect to all securities of capital stock listed as owned by the selling securityholders.



     SEE “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 8 OF THE ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS TO READ ABOUT FACTORS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN THE NOTES OR SHARES OF THE COMMON STOCK OFFERED HEREBY.


These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission
or any state securities commission nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
state securities commission passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Prospectus.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
