and this Proxy Statement and the preceding Notice of Meeting are being mailed on

of directors.

VOTING; PROXIES; REVOCATION OF PROXIES

     A  shareholder  desiring  to vote at the  Annual  Meeting  may do so by (i)
attending  the meeting and voting in person;  (ii)  signing and dating the proxy
which accompanies this Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement and returning it to
the  Company;  or (iii)  duly  executing  and  giving a proxy to a person of the
shareholder's  choosing.  Any proxy so given may be revoked by the person giving
it at any time before its use by delivering  to the Company a written  notice of
revocation  or a duly  executed  proxy  bearing a later date or by attending the
meeting and voting in person.

     In  determining   whether  a  quorum  exists  at  the  meeting  all  shares
represented  in  person or proxy  will be  counted.  Presence  of  holders  of a
majority of the  outstanding  stock entitled to vote shall  constitute a quorum.
Votes will be tabulated by inspectors. Abstentions and broker non-votes are each
included in the  determination of the number of shares present and voting.  Each

cast on proposals  presented to  shareholders,  whereas broker non-votes are not
counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved.

     Adoption  of  Proposals  1 and 3 will  require  the  affirmative  vote of a
majority of the shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock  present and entitled to
vote at the Annual Meeting,  assuming a quorum is present.  For information with
respect to election of directors, see "Proposal 2 - Cumulative Voting Rights."

                                   PROPOSAL 1
             AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE X OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

     At the meeting,  the Company will seek shareholder adoption of an amendment
to Article X of the Articles of Incorporation.  A copy of the proposed Article X
as to be amended is set forth in Exhibit 1. The  amendment  is  proposed to give
the Board  flexibility  to add Board  members when it is determined to be in the
best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

                                   PROPOSAL 2
                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

CUMULATIVE VOTING RIGHTS

     Each shareholder present either in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting
will have  cumulative  voting  rights with respect to the election of directors;
that is the shareholder  will have an aggregate  number of votes in the election
of directors  equal to the number of directors to be elected  multiplied  by the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company held by such  shareholder on the
record  date.  The  resulting  aggregate  number  of  votes  may be  cast by the
shareholder  for the  election  of any  single  nominee or the  shareholder  may
distribute such votes among any number of all of the nominees. The five nominees
receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to the Board of Directors.
The  cumulative  voting  rights may be exercised in person or by proxy and there
are no  conditions  precedent to the exercise of such rights.  The form of proxy
which   accompanies   this  Notice  of  Meeting  and  Proxy  Statement   confers
discretionary  authority  on the  proxyholders  to vote the  shares  represented
thereby  cumulatively  in  certain  cases  described   immediately  below  under
"Nominees."

NOMINEES

     A board of five  directors is to be elected at the Annual  Meeting.  Unless
otherwise  instructed in any proxy, the persons named in the form of proxy which
accompanies this Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement (the "proxyholders") will
vote the proxies  received by them for the Company's  five nominees  whose names
are set forth in the following  table,  four of whom are presently  directors of
the Company and one who has been  nominated  by the Board of  Directors.  In the
event that any such  nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the
time of the Annual Meeting,  the proxies will be voted for any nominee who shall
be  designated  by the present  Board of Directors  to fill the vacancy.  In the
event that  additional  persons are  nominated  for election as  directors,  the
proxyholders  intend,  unless  otherwise  instructed  in any proxy,  to vote all
proxies received by them in such manner in accordance with cumulative  voting as
will assure the election of as many of the following nominees as possible,  and,
in such event,  the specific  nominees to be voted for will be determined by the
proxyholders.  In the event that authority to vote for any nominee whose name is
set forth in the  following  table is  withheld in any proxy,  the  proxyholders
intend,   unless  otherwise  instructed  in  such  proxy,  to  vote  the  shares
represented by such proxy, in their discretion,  cumulatively for one or more of
the other nominees named in such table.  The Company is not aware of any nominee
who will be unable or will decline to serve as a director. The term of office of
each  person   elected  as  a  director   will  expire  upon  the  election  and
qualification of his or her successor, expected to be at the next Annual Meeting
of Shareholders.
