Stock, if additional shares are purchased by him (See item 4, hereof), will be
personal funds of the Reporting Person.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The Reporting Person's acquisition of Shares of common Stock is for the purpose
of investment and with a view to continued participation in the control of the
Issuer. Except as described above, the Reporting Person does not have any
present plan or proposal which relates to or would result in: (a) the
Acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer 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 from a national securities exchange or
to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of

12(g) (4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (j) any action similar to
any of those enumerated above.
The Reporting Person may acquire additional shares of Common Stock but only
through purchases from time to time in the open market at prices prevailing in
the market at the time of such purchases or through privately negotiated
transactions at prices which may or may not be related to prices prevailing in
the open market at the time of such purchases, or by a combination of open
market and privately negotiated transactions and the exercise of stock options.
The Reporting Person does not intend to make a tender offer for shares of Common
Stock. The Reporting Person's acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock
is, in all cases, subject to the availability of shares at prices deemed by him
to be reasonable and consistent with prudent investment criteria and to general
economic circumstances. As prices and economic factors are not expected to be
static, there can be no assurances that the Reporting Person will purchase
additional shares of Common Stock or that he will be purchasing shares at any
given time; nor can there be any prediction regarding the number of shares of
Common Stock that he will own at any given time or from time to time.
The Reporting Person reserves the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any or
all the shares of Common Stock he owns at any time or from time to time,
although he does not currently intend to or anticipate that he will sell any of
the Common Stock owned by him.
The Reporting Person currently has no understanding or agreement with any person
regarding the acquisition of Common Stock in a privately negotiated transaction.
Further, any such acquisition of Common Stock will, as set forth above, be
primarily subject to price and other economic considerations and, as price and
other economic factors are beyond his control, the Reporting Person cannot
predict whether or when he will acquire additional Common Stock or attain any
given level of investment in the Issuer
