655 Montgomery Street, Suite 800

July 1, 1999
Dear Stockholder:
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
WILL BE HELD ON JULY 15, 1999
We wish to inform you that, under a stipulated order of the court in the
California litigation referred to in our proxy statement dated June 3, 1999, the
annual meeting of stockholders will be held on July 15, 1999. To implement the
order, the Company intends to convene, and then immediately adjourn until July
15, 1999, the July 2, 1999 session of the meeting.
The meeting will reconvene on July 15, 1999, at 9:00 a.m., at the Park
Hyatt Hotel, located at 333 Battery Street, San Francisco, California. At the
meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect directors. We will also conduct
any other business that may properly come before the meeting. You are cordially
invited to attend.
WE NEED YOUR VOTE TO HAVE A QUORUM FOR THE MEETING!
VOTE THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD TODAY!
We have previously stated that we intended to challenge the validity of
Frederick G. Tobin's nominations for director. Under the terms of the
stipulated order, the Company will accept Mr. Tobin's nominations as valid if
they are made. The stipulated order applies only to nominations by Mr. Tobin
and only with respect to the 1999 annual meeting. As described in our proxy
statement, the court was also considering petitioner's motion to hold the
Company in contempt and sanction it for the Company's failure to mail notice of
the meeting by the date specified in an earlier stipulated order of the court
relating to the holding of the meeting. Recently, the court denied petitioner's
motion.
WE URGE YOU NOT TO SIGN ANY PROXY CARD
SENT BY THE TOBIN COMMITTEE!
We expect that Mr. Tobin will nominate himself and five other individuals
for election as directors at the meeting. WE STRONGLY OPPOSE MR. TOBIN'S
NOMINEES, AND DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ELECTION OF SUCH NOMINEES IS IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF ALL STOCKHOLDERS.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!

reconvened meeting, please sign, date and return our WHITE proxy card as
promptly as possible in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope.
We thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely yours,
