ITEMS OF INFORMATION

Item 5.  Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 22, 2002, the Company met with an ad-hoc committee (the "Ad-Hoc
Committee") of the holders of its 9.5% Senior Notes and 9.5% Series C Notes,
each due 2003 (the "Senior Notes") to discuss the restructuring of the Senior
Notes.  The Company offered the Ad-Hoc Committee members the opportunity to
exchange the Senior Notes for a combination of cash and new notes the Company
expected would have enabled the existing note holders to recover approximately
60 percent of the face amount of the Senior Notes.  At this meeting, the
Company provided materials to support the Company's offer, including
preliminary five year projections.  The Company is substantially revising
these projections and, in the Company's view, the materials it previously
provided are not reliable and therefore are not meaningful to an investor.

The Ad-Hoc Committee did not accept this proposal and, on September 4, 2002,
certain holders of the Senior Notes filed an involuntary reorganization
petition against the Company under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the
District of Delaware.  On September 27, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court entered an
order granting the Company's request to convert the involuntary case to a
voluntary case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Company expects that negotiations will continue between the Company and
the newly formed Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors.
