ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT

     On August 1, 1999, each of LAMB Partners, Neil G. Bluhm, Andrew G. Bluhm,
     Gregory A. Carlin, Marcy R. Carlin and CLAM Partners entered into an
     Operating Agreement of ISLE Investors, L.L.C. (the "Operating Agreement")
     and contributed to the capital of ISLE Investors, L.L.C. all Shares and
     warrants to acquire Shares owned by such persons. The Operating Agreement
     governs the affairs of ISLE Investors, L.L.C.

     Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, ISLE Investors, L.L.C. is managed by
     its Managers (Gregory A. Carlin and Neil G. Bluhm), who have full and
     complete authority, power and discretion to manage and control all
     business, affairs and properties of ISLE Investors, L.L.C. with respect to
     voting and dispositive power over the Shares and warrants to acquire Shares
     owned by ISLE Investors, L.L.C. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement,
     the Managers shall act by unanimous consent except to the extent that a
     Manager shall give the other Manager written authority to act on matters.

     Under the Operating Agreement, the members shall allocate net realized
     profits and net realized losses of ISLE Investors, L.L.C. for each fiscal
     year (or portion thereof) as follows:

          (a)  Profits shall be allocated (i) first, to all members, to the
               extent of losses previously allocated under clause (b)(iii) below
               and not previously offset; (ii) second, to members to the extent
               of losses previously allocated under clause (b)(ii) below; (iii)
               third, to all members to the extent of the Preferred Return
               accrued to such date and not previously allocated; and (iv)
               fourth, 92.5% to all members (including Gregory A. Carlin) in
               proportion to the Excess Return Ratio of each member and 7.5% to
               Gregory A. Carlin; and

          (b)  Losses shall be allocated (i) first, to all members to the extent
               of profits previously allocated under clause (a)(iv) above and
               not previously offset by losses; (ii) second, to all members to
               the extent of profits previously allocated under clause (a)(iii)
               above and not previously offset by losses; and (iii) third, 100%
               to all members in proportion to their capital contributions.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, all profits and losses attributable to the
     warrants to acquire 60,636 Shares, and Shares received upon the exercise of
     such warrants, shall be allocated to CLAM Partners.

     The "Preferred Return" means an annually compounded return of 10% on the
     price each member originally paid for each Share that such member
     contributed to the capital of ISLE Investors, L.L.C. The "Excess Return
     Ratio" means the ratio that the aggregate Excess Return with respect to all
     Shares contributed by a member bears to the excess return of ISLE
     Investors, L.L.C. assuming that every member has an Excess Return. The
     "Excess Return" with respect to each Share held by ISLE Investors, L.L.C.
     is the difference between (a) the value of such Share at the date of sale
     or disposition and (b) the sum of (i) the price at which such Share was
     originally acquired by the contributing member and (ii) the Preferred
     Return payable on such Share.
