         shares  pursuant to Rule 13d-3  under the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
         1934, due to its discretionary power to make investment  decisions over
         such shares for its clients and its ability to vote such shares. In all

         the right to receive,  or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends
