The Loomis Entities have no present plan or proposal to
acquire any additional shares of Common Stock, on behalf of
the Specified Accounts or otherwise. However, the Loomis

and to direct the receipt of dividends in respect of, and to
receive proceeds from the sale of, the shares owned by such
Specified Accounts. Loomis does not hold Common Stock for
the benefit of any one Specified Account in any amount which
is equal to or greater than 5% of the total number of shares
of the Common Stock outstanding based upon the Issuer's
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2000.
(e) Not applicable.
<PAGE>
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer
Loomis manages the Specified Accounts under contracts that provide the client
with the right to terminate its investment advisory relationship with Loomis
upon written notice. The right to terminate may take effect immediately or upon
receipt of the notice or at a future date as specified in the notice to Loomis,
depending upon the terms of the particular advisory agreement. The owner of a
Specified Account has the right to receive all dividends, profits, distributions
and economic benefits in respect of the Common Stock which will be held in such
Specified Account.
As described in the Loomis Entities' Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on November
21, 1997 (the "Schedule 13D") reporting the acquisition of beneficial ownership
of the Account Shares, pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") dated January 7, 1998 (the "Effective Date")
between the Issuer and Loomis, the Issuer will agree to file and cause to become
effective a shelf registration statement covering resales by Loomis from time to
time, and to cause such shelf registration statement to remain effective until
the third anniversary of the Effective Date (or the fifth anniversary of the
Effective Date if the Issuer becomes entitled to use a registration statement on
Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder
(the "Securities Act")). In addition, Loomis will have the right to make three
written requests to the Issuer for registration under the Securities Act of all
or a part of the Account Shares, and will have the right to make unlimited
requests for registrations so long as such registrations may be effected on Form
S-3 registration statements. In addition, Loomis will have customary "piggyback"
registration rights to include the Account Shares, subject to certain
limitations, in any other registration statement filed by the Issuer under the
Securities Act. The Issuer will agree to pay all expenses in connection with the
performance of the obligations to effect the shelf, demand and piggyback
registration under the Securities Act of the Account Shares, other than:
(i) underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or other similar selling
expenses attributable to the sale of the Account Shares; and
(ii) any expenses (other than internal expenses of its own officers and
employees) in connection with any additional requested registration
on Form S-3 after the three permitted requested registrations.
The Issuer will agree to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, Loomis and certain of its affiliates against certain
securities law liabilities (including, under certain circumstances, liabilities
unrelated to its participation in any registered offering or sale of the Account
Shares) and, in lieu thereof, to contribute to payments required to be made by
Loomis or any such affiliate. The Issuer's obligations to effect and maintain
the effectiveness of any registration required by the Registration Rights
Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of:
(a) the sale by Loomis of all Account Shares;
(b) notice from Loomis that it no longer needs the benefits of the
Registration Rights
<PAGE>
Agreement; or
(c) when Loomis no longer holds, for the benefit of the Specified Accounts,
10% or more of the Common Stock, and the Issuer and Loomis have
received an opinion of recognized securities counsel to the effect that
the Account Shares may be freely resold by Loomis without resort to the
provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
The information herein regarding the provisions of the agreements pursuant to
which Loomis provides investment advisory services to its clients and the
Registration Rights Agreement is a summary only, and does not purport to be
complete. The form of Registration Rights Agreement, which was incorporated by
reference in the Schedule 13D, should be reviewed for a recitation of its terms
and provisions.
