Exhibit A
- ---------
The trustees of the ESOP hold shares of common stock of the
issuer in trust for the benefit of employees participating in the
ESOP. Pursuant to Section 13.6 of the ESOP, (i) the trustees
vote common stock allocated to participant accounts in accordance
with instructions by participants, (ii) shares of common stock of
the issuer which have not been allocated and allocated stock for
which no voting direction has been received shall be voted by the
trustee in the same proportion that participants direct the
voting of allocated shares, and (iii) if no voting direction has
been received as to allocated shares, the issuer may direct the
trustees as to the voting of all unallocated shares, and if the
issuer gives no direction, the trustees shall vote such shares in
their sole discretion. Pursuant to Section 13.3 of the ESOP, the
trustees exercise investment direction as directed by the issuer
in its capacity as the ESOP Committee. Overall, the trustees
must exercise voting and dispositive power with respect to the
assets held by the ESOP, including common stock of the issuer, in
accordance with the fiduciary responsibility requirements imposed
by Section 404 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended.
