may be required.  The Reporting Person does not currently intend to acquire
or offer to acquire 10% or more of the Issuer's shares of Common Stock which
would require him to apply for such approvals.  However, any determination
to purchase additional shares of Common Stock will depend upon a number of
factors, including market prices, the Issuer's prospects and alternative
investments.  Similarly, the Reporting Person may determine to sell all or a
portion of his shares of Common Stock at any time.

     The Reporting Person currently has no plans or proposals (excluding

or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary
corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation,
involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a
material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any
change in the present Board of Directors or management of the issuer,
including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors
or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (e) any material change in
the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other
material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes
in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or
other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by
any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted

quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national
securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer
becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section
12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any
action similar to any of those enumerated above.
