agreement ("Agreement") with the Company pursuant to which they must
offer their shares for sale to the Company, and if it declines to
purchase, to the other signatories at a price based on current market
prices, if any of them desires to sell shares not in compliance with
Section (e)(1) and (f) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933. Mr. Court does not affirm that the Agreement operates to
make the signatories thereto a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3)
