         Item 4 is hereby restated as follows:

         The reporting persons originally acquired the Shares for investment
purposes and have continuously reviewed this investment based on an evaluation
of the issuer and its business and prospects.

had determined to terminate the Plan of Recapitalization (the "Recapitalization
Plan") announced on March 24, 2000.

         Other than Shares which may be acquired by Mr. Green pursuant to
compensatory plans related to his employment by the issuer, the reporting
persons have no present intent to acquire additional Shares. The reporting
persons do intend to review continuously their investment in the Shares, and,
depending upon their evaluation of the issuer's business and prospects, the
reporting persons may determine to purchase additional Shares or to dispose of
all or a portion of the Shares held by such persons. In addition, WPS may
dispose of Shares either directly or by distribution to redeem the interests of
its limited partners.

         Except as otherwise described in this Item 4, none of the reporting
persons nor Ms. Comeau-Shirley or Ms. McMahon has any plans or proposals which
relate to or would result in any matter required to be disclosed in response to
Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
