PART III
Item 11.
Stock Option Cancellation and Reissuance
On December 14, 1998, the Company offered certain holders of
stock options, including certain executive officers, the
opportunity to cancel their outstanding stock options in exchange
for the issuance of replacement stock options. The exercise price
on the newly issued stock options was set at the fair market value
of the Company's Common Stock at the close of business on December
14, 1998, which price was lower than the exercise price of the
canceled options. This action was taken in order to provide an
appropriate incentive to these individuals. As a result of the
stock option cancellations and reissuances, 880,000 outstanding
options were cancelled and 568,000 options were reissued.
The following table sets forth certain information concerning
the cancellation and reissuance of stock options to executive
officers of the Company on December 14, 1998, and within the
previous ten years.(1)

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
Compensation Committee Report concerning 1998 Stock Option
Cancellation and Reissuance
Pursuant to the 1988 and 1992 Plan(s), the Compensation
Committee had granted stock options to certain members of
management and other senior employees at exercise prices ranging
from $8.50 to $12.125 per share. After the decline in the market
price of the Company's Common Stock, the Compensation Committee
considered whether or not, in conjunction with the other forms of
compensation, the outstanding stock options were sufficient to
motivate and retain certain members of management and other senior
employees. The Compensation Committee concluded that the
outstanding options were insufficient to motivate and retain these
key employees and, therefore, the Compensation Committee issued new
option to certain employees in consideration of their agreement to
cancel their outstanding options. Accordingly, effective December
14, 1998, 880,000 options outstanding under the Plan(s) were
cancelled and 568,000 options were issued with an exercise price of
$5.500 per share, which was the closing market price per share of
common Stock on December 15, 1998. For information regarding the
stock options reissued to each named executive officer, see "Ten-
year Option/SAR Repricings."
