ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

         On February 11, 1999 and on or about April 16, 1999, Caremark, Inc.,
one of our large outsourcing clients, filed lawsuits alleging that we had
breached certain contractual obligations. On February 25, 1999, we filed a
lawsuit against Caremark and its parent, Caremark Rx, Inc., alleging that
Caremark had no basis for its allegations and that Caremark Rx had tortiously
interfered with the Caremark contract. On September 13, 2000, these lawsuits
were settled by agreement of the parties, which resulted in a contract extension
through August 13, 2006, and a dismissal of all claims.
