As described in Item 6, on May 21, 2001, Fund VI entered into an agreement with the Issuer to immediately cease all further sales of Common Stock under Rule 144 until the earlier of December 31, 2001, or the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement described in Item 6, which is to be filed, at the election of Fund VI, by the Company on or before December 31, 2001.
