("Purchaser"), on March 20, 2000, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO,
filed on April 20, 2000 (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"). The Schedule 13D
relates to the common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock")

          ITEM 3.    SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

               The response to Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by
               the addition of the following language:

                    "Parent acquired all of the issued and outstanding Shares of
                    the Company pursuant to the Offer and the Merger with funds
                    from its working capital for an aggregate amount of
                    $110,851,875. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, at
                    the Effective Time, Parent also paid $719,812.50 to certain
                    holders of Company Stock Options."

          ITEM 5.    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

               The response to Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by
               the addition of the following language:


                    (a)-(c)   "On April 25, 2000, pursuant to the terms and
                              conditions of the Merger Agreement, Purchaser was
                              merged with and into the Company, such that the
                              Company became a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary
                              of Parent. At the Effective Time, each Share
                              issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
                              Effective Time (excluding (i) Shares held by any
                              of the Company's subsidiaries, (ii) Shares held by
                              Parent, Purchaser or any other subsidiary of
                              Parent, and (iii) Shares held by stockholders who
                              perfect their appraisal rights under the DGCL),
                              was, by virtue of the Merger, converted into and
                              became the right to receive the Cash Merger
                              Consideration. Each Share held by Parent,
                              Purchaser or any subsidiary of Parent, Purchaser
                              or the Company immediately prior to the Effective
                              Time, was, by virtue of the Merger, canceled and
                              retired and ceased to exist without any payment
                              being made with respect thereto. At the Effective
                              Time, each share of common stock of Purchaser
                              issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
                              Effective Time was converted into and became one
                              validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share
                              of common stock of the Surviving Corporation."

                    (d)       "No other person 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,
                              the Shares of the Company."
