purchase price of $17.50.

Completion of the Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions
which include, without limitation, the following: (i) there shall have validly
tendered and not withdrawn a number of Shares which, together with all Shares
owned, directly or indirectly, by Registrant or Purchaser, represents at least
