Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Reporting Person acquired on behalf of AJR, Quest and the Managed
Accounts and continues to hold the Shares reported herein for investment
purposes. The Reporting Person intends to evaluate the performance of the Shares
as an investment in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Person
pursues an investment objective that seeks capital appreciation. In pursuing
this investment objective, the Reporting Person analyzes the operations, capital
structure and markets of companies in which the Reporting Person's clients
invest, including the Issuer, on a continuous basis through analysis of
documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers
and with representatives of such companies.
The Reporting Person will continuously assess the Issuer's business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic
conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Shares in
particular, other developments and other investment opportunities. Depending on
such assessments, the Reporting Person may acquire additional Shares or may
determine to sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the Shares presently
held by AJR, Quest and the Managed Accounts in the open market or in private
transactions. Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including,
without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for the
Shares, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the
Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market
<PAGE>
and industry conditions and other factors that the Reporting Person may deem
material to its investment decision.
In its capacity as a shareholder, the Reporting Person has in the past
and will continue in the future to have active discussions with the management
of both the Issuer and the Issuer's largest shareholder, Kennametal Inc.
("Kennametal"), with respect to (i) the strategic direction of the Issuer and
actions which might be taken by the management of either the Issuer or
Kennametal to maximize shareholder value of the Issuer and (ii) improving the
Issuer's investor relations. In addition, the Reporting Person may hold
discussions with other parties who might engage in shareholder value enhancing
activities for the benefit of all of the Issuer's shareholders. There can be no
assurance that the Reporting Person will take any of the actions described in
the previous sentence. The Reporting Person is also one of the largest
institutional shareholders of Kennametal.
The Reporting Person has no present plans or proposals which relate to
or would result in any of the transactions required to be described in Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.

AJR, Quest and the Managed Accounts, pursuant to which the Reporting Person has
investment authority with respect to the securities held by each entity or in
each account. This authority includes the power to dispose of and the power to
vote the Shares. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Person is deemed to be the
