See Item 6 for an additional description of the Stock Purchase Agreement. All of the funds were obtained from contributions from partners of GAP 74, GAPCO II and KG, and available capital of GapStar. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Unchanged. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows: (a) As of the date hereof, GAP, GAP 74, GapStar, GAPCO II, KG and GmbH Management each own of record no shares of Common Stock, 2,595,702 shares of Common Stock, 202,631 shares of Common Stock, 354,328 shares of Common Stock, 4,039 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Common Stock, respectively, 0.0%, 16.4%, 1.3%, 2.2%, 0.0% and 0.0%, respectively, of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. By virtue of the fact that (i) the GAP Managing Members (other than Mr. Esser) are also the general partners authorized and empowered to vote and dispose of the securities held by GAPCO II, (ii) GAP is the general partner of GAP 74 and the sole member of GapStar and (iii) the GAP Managing Members are authorized and empowered to vote and dispose of the securities held by KG, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting power and the power to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock, which each owns of record.

(d) No person other than the persons listed is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any securities owned by any member of the group. (e) Not Applicable. ITEM 6. CONTRACT, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIP WITH RESPECT TO THE ISSUER. Item 6 is hereby amended by inserting the following at the end thereof: As described in Item 3 above, on March 20, 2003, the Purchasers entered into the Stock Purchase Agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Purchasers agreed to (i) purchase an aggregate of 270,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,387,800 and (ii) purchase, subject to obtaining the Nasdaq Approval, an aggregate of 730,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Additional Purchased Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $3,752,200 (the foregoing clause (ii), the "Second Tranche"). The Nasdaq Approval is a material condition to closing the Second Tranche. If the Nasdaq Approval is obtained, then from the closing date of the Second Tranche (the "Additional Closing") and until such time as the Purchasers and their affiliates own in the aggregate less than 20% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, each Purchaser grants to, and appoints, the Company, as its proxy and attorney-in-fact, for and in its name, place and stead, to vote such number of Additional Purchased Shares which, if aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock owned by the Purchasers and their affiliates, would result in the ownership by the Purchasers and their affiliates of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company. In addition, if the Additional Closing is consummated, then prior to its next annual meeting of stockholders, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a proxy statement of the Company relating to such annual meeting that will include, among other things, the solicitation of the Company's stockholders for the ratification of the issuance and sale of the Additional Purchased Shares to the Purchasers (the "Proxy Statement"). The Proxy Statement will include the unconditional recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company to the stockholders of the Company that they vote in favor of the ratification of the issuance of Additional Purchased Shares. The foregoing proxy automatically terminates upon the earlier of (i) the Purchasers and their affiliates owning in the aggregate less than 20% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company or (ii) the ratification of the issuance and sale of the Additional Purchased Shares at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company as described above. - ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 101388106 Page 10 of 15 - ----------------------------- ----------------------------- If the Nasdaq Approval is not obtained on or prior to April 11, 2003, or such other date agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers, then the obligations of the Company and the Purchasers to consummate the Second Tranche shall terminate.
