The Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares (the "Conversion Price") initially is $33.3854 (subject to adjustment to prevent dilution). The Conversion Price is subject to an annual adjustment. If the average of the weighted average price (as reported by Bloomberg) of the Common Stock on the 10 trading days following June 19, 2001, June 19, 2002, June 19, 2003 or June 19, 2004 (each, with respect to each such date, the "Market Price") is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such date, then on and after the 11/th/ trading day following each such date the Conversion Price will be equal to the Market Price with respect to such date, subject to further adjustment. As a result, if the weighted average price of the Common Stock fluctuates, the number of shares of Common Stock which holders of the Preferred Shares may be deemed to beneficially own may fluctuate without any action taken by the holders of the Preferred Shares. - --------------------- -------------------- Cusip No. 594972101 13G Page 15 of 16 Pages - --------------------- -------------------- The Preferred Shares accrue dividends at the rate of 7% per annum from June 19, 2000, payable in cash or Common Stock at the option of the Company (with certain exceptions) quarterly, beginning on the earlier of December 18, 2000 and the date that is 10 days after a registration statement covering the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
