In connection with the completion of the transaction, Mr. Sack became a director and an Executive Vice President of the Company, and entered into a one year employment contract with the Company. 3 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The 855,000 Shares offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders were issued in an October 1994 private placement. This Registration Statement is being filed by, and at the expense of the Company pursuant to obligations contained in a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may sell the Shares of the Company covered by this Prospectus to the public in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices and on terms then obtainable. Broker-dealers either may act as agents for the Selling Stockholders for such commissions as may be agreed upon at the time, or may purchase any of the Shares covered hereby as principals and thereafter may sell such Shares from time to time in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at prices and on terms then obtainable. Such sales may be effectuated at any time or from time to time, so long as the Registration Statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, is effective. As a director and executive officer of the Company, Mr. Sack may be required to sell the Shares beneficially owned by him only during certain "window" periods set forth in the Company's policy relating to transactions in its securities by its employees and directors. Typically, these periods are 20 business days beginning two business days following the publication of the Company's quarterly or year-end financial results. In addition, directors may not trade even during the window period if they are in possession of inside information. MATERIAL CHANGES The Registration Rights Agreement which required the Company to register the Shares hereunder was amended to allow the sale of 1,200,000 shares, less any shares sold in the Company's underwritten offering and shares previously sold under this Prospectus. After the sale of the 345,000 shares in the underwritten offering (including the 45,000 shares sold subject to the overallotment option), and after the sale of 775,200 shares pursuant to this Prospectus, 79,800 shares remain eligible for sale pursuant to this Prospectus. In the amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement, Mr. Ferris agreed to refrain from making sales pursuant to this Prospectus or otherwise until the earlier of 45 days after the consummation of the Company's public offering (on August 2, 1995), or October 31, 1995. Mr. Sack, as a director of the Company, must refrain from making sales for a period of 90 days subsequent to July 28, 1995, the date of the execution of the purchase agreement with the underwriters.
