with awards, under the 1990, 1993 and 1996 Plans and include 1,000 other shares
of Common Stock that remained available for grant under the 1993 Plan when it

under the 2001 Plan. The Registrant is concurrently filing Post-Effective
Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (file no. 33-37573)
and Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statements on Form S-8
(file no. 33-72568 and file no. 33-20333) to reflect the carry forward of
