ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

         On or about January 14, 2003, the Company issued and sold 865,051
shares of newly designated Series E preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share
("Series E Stock"), at a purchase price of $0.7225 per share, and 729,407 shares
of newly designated Series F preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Series
F Stock"), at a purchase price of $0.85 per share. In connection with this sale,
the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 559,084 shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock").
The warrants issued to holders of Series E Stock permit them to purchase an
aggregate of 216,263 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.867 per
share (the "Series E Warrants"), and the warrants issued to holders of Series F
Stock permit them to purchase an aggregate of 342,821 shares of Common Stock, at
an exercise price of $1.02 per share (the "Series F Warrants").

         The Series E Stock was purchased by a single non-affiliated investor,
while the Series F Stock was purchased by certain officers and directors of the
Company and their affiliates. The purchase agreement used in the sale of the
Series E Stock and form of purchase agreement used in the sales of the Series F
Stock are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively (collectively,
the "Purchase Agreements"). The Certificates of Designations, Preferences,
Rights and Limitations for the Series E Stock and Series F Stock are attached
hereto as Exhibits 4.3 and 4.4, respectively. The warrant issued to the
purchaser of Series E Stock and form of warrants issued to purchasers of Series
F Stock are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.5 and 4.6, respectively.

         Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, we have agreed to file a
registration statement covering the resale of the Common Stock to be issued upon
conversion of the Series E Stock and Series F Stock and upon exercise of the
Series E Warrants and Series F Warrants. We have also agreed that if we, on or
before January 13, 2004, issue any capital stock or capital stock equivalent in
a private placement, then the holders of Series E Stock will have the right,
exercisable within ten days of receiving notice of the new issuance, to convert
its Series E Stock and Series E Warrants into the capital stock or capital stock
equivalent offered in such private placement or public offering. This exchange
right does not extend to the holders of Series F Stock.

         The issuance of the Series E Stock, Series F Stock, Series E Warrants
and Series F Warrants was made in reliance upon the exemption available from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
