        Reporting Persons acquired the securities of Issuer for purposes of
investment.

        Subject to applicable legal requirements, Reporting Persons may purchase
additional shares of Common Stock from time to time in open market or in private
transactions, depending on their evaluation of Issuer's business, prospects and
financial condition, the market for the Common Stock, other developments
concerning Issuer, the reaction of Issuer to Reporting Person's ownership of
Common Stock, other opportunities available to Reporting Persons, and general
economic, money market and stock market conditions. In addition, depending upon
the factors referred to above, Reporting Persons may dispose of all or a portion
of their shares of Common Stock at any time.

        Other than as described in this Item 4, Reporting Persons do not have
any plan or proposal relating to, or that would result in, any event described
in (a)-(j) of this Item 4.

        However, Reporting Persons reserve the right to take such action as they
may deem appropriate with respect to any or all of such matters.
