The Company intends to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing
Qualifications Panel (the 'Panel') to review the Nasdaq staff's determination.
The hearing request will stay the delisting of the Company's common stock
pending the Panel's decision. There can be no assurance that the Panel will
grant the Company's request for continued listing.

As previously announced, the Company has delayed the filing of the Form
10-Q in order to (i) complete its voluntary review of its historical equity
award grant practices under the direction of the Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and (ii) assess any
impact of the review on the Company's financial statements related to prior
equity grants and the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Pursuant to the Indenture (the 'Indenture') with respect to the Company's
7/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the 'Notes'), the Company is
required to file all reports and other information and documents which it is
required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and provide a copy of such filings to the trustee for
the holders of the Notes (the 'Trustee'). Pursuant to the Indenture, a
default by the Company on this requirement becomes an 'event of default' (as
described in the Indenture) (i) if the Trustee notifies the Company of the
default or (ii) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes outstanding (the '25% Holders') notify the Company and the Trustee
of the default, and (iii) the Company does not cure the default within 60 days
after receipt of such notice.

On November 10, 2006, the Company received notice from the Trustee
asserting that if the Company fails to file the Form 10-Q on or before January
9, 2007, such failure will constitute an event of default pursuant to the
Indenture. If such an event of default were to occur, the Trustee or the 25%
Holders would have the right to declare all unpaid principal and accrued
interest on the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.
