Dear Stockholder:

         You recently received a copy of the Company's Proxy Statement and
related Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Letter to Stockholders,
each dated April 30, 2002. After printing and mailing a minor error was
discovered in the Proxy Statement and related materials in that the day of the
week for the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders was misidentified. We
would like to confirm that the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be
held on Tuesday, June 18, 2002. In the Proxy Statement and related materials,
the date of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders was incorrectly stated as
Wednesday, June 18, 2002.

         The Company does not intend to distribute new proxy cards or proxy
materials. Stockholders should sign and return the proxy card that was
previously circulated with the Proxy Statement.


                                   Very truly yours,


                                   /s/ Philip K. Yachmetz
