IMPORTANT REMINDER
Dear Preferred Shareholder,
I am writing to remind you that the May 7, 1996 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders quickly is approaching. According to our latest records, we have
not received your completed proxy.
Your Board of Directors has unanimously recommended that shareholders
vote FOR all proposals. Specifically, Proposal 3, the amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation, requires the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all
outstanding preferred shares voting as a class. Thus, it is essential,
regardless of the number of shares that you own, that we hear from you today.
To help your company avoid the expense of further solicitation, please
sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy immediately.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
John E. Hayes, Jr.
