REMARKS: THE SHARES COVERED BY THIS FORM 144 (THE "SHARES") ARE BEING SOLD PURSUANT TO A RULE 10B5-1 SALES PLAN DATED FEBRUARY 26, 2001 (THE "PLAN"), AND THE REPRESENTATION BELOW REGARDING THE SELLER'S KNOWLEDGE OF MATERIAL INFORMATION SPEAKS AS OF THAT PLAN ADOPTION DATE. THE OBJECT OF THE PLAN IS TO GENERATE ENOUGH CASH TO ENABLE THE SELLER TO BEAR THE COSTS OF EXERCISING ADDITIONAL STOCK OPTIONS, BEYOND THOSE CONTEMPLATED BY THE PLAN, THAT ARE EXPIRING WITHIN ONE YEAR. THE SELLER HAS NO INTENTION AT THIS TIME TO SELL THE SHARES UNDERLYING SUCH ADDITIONAL STOCK OPTIONS. THE PLAN HAS BEEN STRUCTURED TO PERMIT AN ORDERLY SALE OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, WITHOUT FOCUSING A SALE OF ALL OF THE SHARES WITHIN ONE OF THE LIMITED TRADING WINDOWS AVAILABLE TO OFFICERS OF THE ISSUER. THE SALE OF THE SHARES SHOULD IN NO WAY BE VIEWED AS A REFLECTION OF THE OPINION OF THE UNDERSIGNED WITH RESPECT TO THE BUSINESS, CONDITION OR PROSPECTS OF THE ISSUER. SHARES WILL BE SOLD UNDER THE PLAN ONLY WHEN THE PREVIOUS DAY'S CLOSING BID PRICE PER SHARE (THE "MARKET PRICE") IS AT A SUFFICIENTLY HIGH LEVEL TO COVER THE EXERCISE PRICE AND INCOME TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXERCISE OF THE OPTIONS WHICH GIVE RISE TO THE SHARES. THE SHARES WILL BE SOLD ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS: WHILE THE SHARES TRADE AT OR BELOW A CERTAIN MARKET PRICE, NO SHARES ARE TO BE SOLD; WHILE THE SHARES TRADE AT A MARKET PRICE THAT IS WITHIN A CERTAIN PRICE RANGE, ONLY SUCH AMOUNT OF SHARES ARE TO BE SOLD AS EQUALS THE REMAINING SHARES TO BE SOLD DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF TRADING DAYS UP TO AND INCLUDING NOVEMBER 1, 2001; AND WHILE THE SHARES TRADE AT OR ABOVE A CERTAIN MARKET PRICE, SELL AS MANY SHARES AS POSSIBLE. INSTRUCTIONS: See the definition of "person" in paragraph (a) of Rule 144. Information is to be given not only as to the person for whose account the securities are to be sold but also as to all other persons included in that definition. In addition, information shall be given as to sales by all persons whose sales are required by paragraph (e) of Rule 144 to be aggregated with sales for the account of the person filing this notice.
