         Reporting  Person has shared  power to vote or to direct the vote,  and
         shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are as follows:

Item 10  Certification.(3)

- -------------------

(3)  Section  13(d)(6)(B)  of the Act  allows  the  Reporting  Person  to report
acquisitions  of Common Stock using a Schedule 13G (versus a Schedule  13D),  if
such  acquisitions  represent 2% or less of the  Issuer's  Common Stock within a
12-month period. The Reporting Person has purchased  approximately 68,000 shares
of Common Stock  during 1998 or less than 1% of the  Issuer's net common  shares
outstanding.  The  remaining  increase  in  the  Reporting  Person's  beneficial
ownership  percentage  is due  solely  to a change in the  number of net  common
shares  outstanding  of  the  Issuer.  During  1998,  the  Issuer's  net  shares
outstanding  decreased  by over 2.7M  common  shares  due to (1) a Common  Stock
exchange offer and (2) a stock repurchase program.
