See Item 6 for a description of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Certain of the reporting persons are party to an Agreement with the Company pursuant to which they agreed, among other things, (i) to restrict themselves from certain actions (including, without limitation, seeking to influence the Company's management, attempting to change the Company's management, soliciting proxies with respect to shares of the Company, depositing voting securites in a voting trust, taking action to acquire control of the Company, and seeking to influence any of the Company's contractual relationships) at such time that they own beneficially and/or of record 15% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) that they will not in the aggregate acquire beneficially or of record, individually or in the aggregate in excess of 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Subsequent thereto, the Company waived the 19.9% restriction to permit the parties thereto to own 30% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock until the earlier of certain specified events. The warrants expire on March 3, 2000 and entitle the holder to purchase the shares of Common Stock at a price of $10.125 per share. With respect to shares purchased in private placements by BEV Partners, EGS Partners, Jonas Partners and EGS Associates on March 3, 1999, the Company has agreed, within 90 days of the initial closing of the offering to use its best efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC as necessary to permit, commencing 6 months after the initial closing date, the registered sale of the Common Stock for 18 months. The Reporting Persons also received piggy-back registration rights within 24 months after the initial closing ITEM 7.
