      The purpose of this amendment is to delete the following risk factor as it
is not a required disclosure and the provisions of the Company's Certificate of

Anti-Takeover Effect of Certain Charter and By-Law Provisions and Delaware Law

      The Company's Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
authorizes the Board of Directors to issue, without stockholder approval,
5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with voting, conversion and other rights and
preferences that could materially and adversely affect the voting power or other
rights of the holders of Common Stock. Although the Company has no current plans
to issue any shares of Preferred Stock, the issuance of Preferred Stock or of
rights to purchase Preferred Stock could be used to discourage an unsolicited
acquisition proposal. In addition, the possible issuance of Preferred Stock
could discourage a proxy contest, make more difficult the acquisition of a
substantial block of the Company's Common Stock or limit the price that
investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company's
Common Stock. Certain provisions of

the Company's by-laws and of Delaware law
applicable to the Company could delay or make more difficult a merger, tender
offer or proxy contest involving the Company.
