Company to purchase up to $25 million  aggregate  principal amount of its 5.625%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2007 (the "Debentures") on the terms and
subject to the  conditions  set forth in the Offer to Purchase  dated August 30,
2000 (the  "Offer to  Purchase")  and the  related  Letter of  Transmittal  (the
