ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
1. On February 6, 2001, we proposed certain amended terms to holders of
our Convertible Bridge Notes and Warrants (the "Holders")(see Item 1 and
Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, Form 8-K dated April 13, 2000; Item 8 and Exhibit
99.8, Form 8-K dated August 3, 2000; and Item 2, Exhibits 99.1, Form 8-K dated
August 10, 2000). As of February 24, 2001, slightly in excess of 85% of the
Holders (percent is based on principal amount of outstanding convertible
bridge notes) have indicated acceptance of the amendments. It is possible that
some additional acceptances may be obtained after the date of this Report. For
the Holders who indicate acceptance, the amendment: (1) extends the maturity
date to April 30, 2001; (2) requires automatic conversion of the notes
(principal and interest) to our Common Stock on April 29, 2002, if not
previously paid or converted; (3) reduces the maximum conversion price to
$2.50 per share; (4) reduces the call price of the Bridge Warrants to $3.50;
and (5) reduces the warrant exercise price of the Bridge Warrants to $1.50.
As to Holders who do not indicate acceptance: (1) the existing July 1, 2001
maturity date, the $5.00 maximum conversion price, and the $2.00 Bridge
Warrant exercise price remain unchanged; (2) their notes will be automatically
converted to our Common Stock at June 30, 2001 if not previously paid or
converted; and (3) the Bridge Warrant call price has been reduced to $3.50.
