     (a)  Each of the parties to this amendment, Ronald G. Geary,
Jeffrey  M. Cross, E. Halsey Sandford, Paul G. Dunn and Ralph  G.
Gronefeld,  Jr.,  claims  no beneficial ownership  of  shares  of
common stock owned by any other person or entity. As a result  of

entered into by the parties listed in the Introduction have  been
terminated and the parties to the Voting Agreements are no longer
obligated  to  vote their respective shares of  Common  Stock  in

based  on  the Voting Agreements is hereby disclaimed. Ronald  G.
Geary,  Jeffrey M. Cross, E. Halsey Sandford, Paul G.  Dunn,  and
Ralph  G.  Gronefeld, Jr. each disclaim membership in  any  group
with respect to the Common Stock.

     (b)  Ronald G. Geary has sole power to dispose or direct the
