This Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information in the Offer to Purchase, previously filed on Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and amended in Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein. Page numbers refer to the printed offer document mailed to all shareholders in October 2002. 4. WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS. first paragraph. (page 12) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4, tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable. Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date and, unless theretofore accepted for payment by the Company pursuant to the Offer, may also be withdrawn at any time after 5:00 P.M. New York City time, on Tuesday, December 10, 2002. 11. EFFECTS OF THE OFFER ON THE MARKET FOR SHARES; REGISTRATION UNDER THE EXCHANGE ACT. first paragraph. (page 23) The Company's purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer will reduce the number of Shares that might otherwise be traded publicly and may reduce the number of stockholders. However, the Company believes that there will still be a sufficient number of Shares outstanding and publicly traded following consummation of the Offer to ensure a continued trading market for the Shares and, based on the published guidelines of Nasdaq, continued listing of the Company's securities on Nasdaq. In the unlikely event the Offer has a going private effect as described in Rule 13e-3(a)(3), the Company will terminate the Offer.
