The price per share purchased in any offering period is equal to the lesser of 90% of the fair market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or on the purchase date. The offering periods have a term of six months. Contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 were $419,000, $334,000 and $279,000, respectively.
