and a list of stockholders dated as of March 17, 2000.
In addition to and as part of the foregoing demand, I hereby request:

Company as of March 17, 2000 showing the names, addresses and
number of shares of Common Stock held by such stockholders,
together with such computer processing data as is necessary
for me to make use of such magnetic computer tape for
verification purposes.
(c) All information in or which comes into the Company's
possession or control, or which can reasonably be obtained
from brokers, dealers, banks, clearing agencies or voting

I will bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Company (including
those of its transfer agent) in connection with the production of the above
