Item 5 - Other Events.
The Company is correcting data that appears in Table III of the Company's Notice
of 2000 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement") which was
incorporated by reference in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. The correct
information is set forth on Exhibit 1. The corrections relate to the column
entitled "Number of Securities Underlying Unexercised Options at Year-End-
Unexercisable" and the accompanying footnote. As originally filed, the column
did not include options granted in 1999. No other column in Table III was
affected by the omission. These options are reflected in Tables I and II of the
Proxy Statement as originally filed.

(1) These columns show the aggregate totals of options granted during the
period 1990 through 1999. The number of shares subject to the options
has been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock splits effected in
1992 and 1997. All options granted prior to 1993 become exercisable in
installments over a three-year period, 25 percent after the first year,
an additional 25 percent after the second year, and the remaining 50
percent after the third year; and options granted during and after 1993
become exercisable one-third after the first year, an additional
one-third after the second year, and the remaining one-third after the
third year. Of the options granted to Mr. Reichenstein, 457 were
granted as a result of his investment election under the DISP, and, as
such, become exercisable 3 years after the date of grant.
(2) These values are based on $48.3125 per share, the market price of a
share of common stock as of December 31, 1999, net of exercise prices,
which range from $11.625 to $65.719 per share (adjusted to reflect the
1992 and 1997 stock splits). In all cases, the exercise price equaled
the market price of a share at the date of grant.
