The following summary is not complete. You should refer to the
applicable provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
(its "Charter") and By-laws and to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") for a complete statement of the terms and rights of the Common
Stock.
Dividends. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally
available for their payment (subject to the rights of holders of any
preferred stock).
Voting Rights. A holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per
share. Subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock pursuant
to applicable law or the provision of the Certificate of Designations
creating that series, all voting rights are vested in the holders of Common
Stock. Holders of shares of Common Stock have noncumulative voting rights,
which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the
election of directors can elect 100% of the directors.
Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of our voluntary or involuntary
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of Common Stock will be
entitled to share equally in any of our assets available for distribution
after the payment in full of all debts and distributions and after the
holders of any outstanding preferred stock have received their liquidation
preferences in full.
Other Rights. The issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are
fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to
preemptive rights. Shares of Common Stock are not convertible into shares of
any other class of capital stock. If we merge or consolidate with or into
another company and as a result our Common Stock is converted into or
exchangeable for other securities or property (including cash), all holders
of Common Stock will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount of such
consideration for each share of Common Stock.
Possible Anti-Takeover Provisions. The Company's Charter and By-laws
provide:
- for a board of directors that is divided into three classes as nearly
equal in number as is possible, with the term of one class expiring at
the annual meeting in each year;
- that the board of directors may establish the number of seats on the
board, subject to the right of preferred stock holders to elect
directors in certain circumstances and shareowners' rights to set the
number of seats upon the vote of holders of 80% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock;
- that vacancies on the board of directors other than at the annual
meeting are filled by a vote of the remaining directors;
- that special meetings of shareowners generally may be called only by
the Chief Executive Officer or by a majority of the authorized number
of directors;
- that action may be taken by shareowners only at annual or special
meetings and not by written consent;
- that advance notice must be given to the Company for a shareowner to
nominate directors for election at a shareowner meeting;
5
<PAGE>
- that the following actions require approval by holders of 80% of the
outstanding shares entitled to vote:
- The removal for cause of directors at other than the expiration
of their terms.
- The amendment or repeal of the Company's Charter and/or By-law
provisions relating to the classified board or directors, the
number of seats on the board of directors, the filling of board
vacancies, removal of directors for cause, calling of special
meetings of shareowners, prohibition of shareowner action by
written consent and amendment or repeal of provisions requiring an
80% vote of shareowners.
Any of these provisions could delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or
takeover attempt of the Company.
Our Charter permits us to issue up to 20 million shares of preferred
stock with terms set by our board of directors or a committee of the board.
Such preferred stock could have terms that could delay, deter or prevent a
tender offer or takeover attempt of the Company.
Under Section 203 of the DGCL, an acquirer of 15% or more of our shares
of stock must wait three years before a business combination with us unless
one of the following exceptions is available:
- approval by our board of directors prior to the time the acquirer
became a 15% shareowner of the Company;
- acquisition of at least 85% of our voting stock in the transaction
in which the acquirer became a 15% shareowner of the Company; or
- approval of the business combination by our board of directors and
at least two-thirds of our disinterested shareowners.

MANNER OF OFFERING
The shares of Offered Common Stock may be sold from time to time by the
Selling Stockholders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors in interest. Such sales may be made on one or more stock
exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. Such sales may be
made at prices and at terms then prevailing on such markets or at prices
related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The
shares of Offered Common Stock may be sold in one or more of the following:
- a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
- purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-
dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;
- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such
exchange; and
- ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders
may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in resales.
In connection with distribution of the shares of Offered Common Stock
or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker-dealers. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers
may engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging
the positions they assume with the Selling Stockholders. The Selling
Stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares
of Offered Common Stock to close out such short positions. The Selling
Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-
dealers which require the delivery to the broker-dealer of shares of Offered
Common Stock, which the broker-dealer may resell or otherwise transfer
pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Stockholder may also lend or pledge
the shares of Offered Common Stock to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer
may sell the shares of Common Stock so lent or upon default the broker-
dealer may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders may also pledge shares of Offered Common Stock to a
lender other than a broker-dealer, and upon default such lender may sell the
shares of Common Stock so pledged pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling
Stockholders may also contribute or sell shares of Offered Common Stock to
trusts or other entities for the benefit of the contributing Selling
Stockholder and members of his or her family.
Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of
commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Stockholders in
amounts to be negotiated in connection with the sale of Offered Common
Stock. Such broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers may be
deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933
in connection with such sales. Any such commission, discount or concession
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the
Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by the prospectus which
qualify for sale under Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

<PAGE>
All costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the
Offered Common Stock shall be borne by us. Commissions and discounts, if
any, attributable to the sales of shares of Offered Common Stock will be
borne by the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may agree to
indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transaction
involving sales of Offered Common Stock against certain liabilities,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to
indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities in connection
with the offering of the Offered Common Stock, including liabilities arising
under the Securities Act .
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares of Offered Common Stock have been passed
upon for us by J. Edward Smith, Senior Counsel, Corporate and Finance, of
AlliedSignal. Mr. Smith beneficially owns shares of our Common Stock and has
options to acquire additional shares of Common Stock granted under our
option plans.
EXPERTS
The audited financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by
reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC"), independent accountants, given on the
authority of that firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information of
the Company for the three month periods ended March 31, the three- and six-
month periods ended June 30, and the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997, incorporated by reference in this prospectus,
PwC reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with
professional standards for a review of such information. However, their
separate reports dated April 22, 1998, August 7, 1998 and November 4, 1998
incorporated by reference in this prospectus, state that they did not audit
and did not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. PwC
has not carried out any significant or additional tests beyond those which
would have been necessary if their report had not been included.
Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information
should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures
applied. PwC is not subject to the liability provisions of section 11 of
the Act for their report on the unaudited consolidated financial information
because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the registration
statement prepared or certified by PwC within the meaning of sections 7 and
11 of the Act.
