ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

the Securities on terms and at prices determined by it.

Below is a list of sales of Securities beneficially owned by Reliance Financial
which were made within the last 60 days. As of the date hereof, the Securities

knowledge of Reliance Financial based on the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form

of the Securities outstanding. RIC has sole voting and dispositive power over
the Securities beneficially owned by Reliance Financial. As of December 14,
