Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
----------------------------------------------
On December 1, 1998, after discussions between the Registrant and
PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PWC"), the Registrant's principal accountant, the
parties agreed that PWC would not conduct the Registrant's 1998 fiscal year-end
audit. Discussions between the parties were initiated by PWC; however, during
the registrant's two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim periods, no
reports or financial statements issued by PWC contained an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles. Further, during the Registrant's two most recent
fiscal years and subsequent interim periods there were no disagreements between
the Registrant's management and PWC on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which
disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PWC, would have caused PWC
to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with
PWC's reports. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP was engaged as the Registrant's principal
accountants on December 7, 1998.
