owned by such partnership.  Except for Stock held in the name of the Reporting
Person, or in the name of the partnership controlled by the Reporting Person,
there is no written document or agreement conferring the right of the Reporting
Person to acquire or dispose of the Stock or giving the Reporting Person the
right to vote such shares of Stock.

    AS PROVIDED IN S.E.C. REGULATION Section 240.13d-4, THE REPORTING PERSON
HEREBY DECLARES THAT THIS STATEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS AN ADMISSION THAT
HE IS, FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTION 13(d) OR 13(g) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE
ACT, THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SECURITIES COVERED BY THIS STATEMENT.

           person named in paragraph (a), the number of shares as to which
           there is sole power to vote or direct the vote, shared power to vote
           or direct the vote, sole power to dispose or direct the disposition,
           or shared power to dispose or direct the disposition, is the same as
           in paragraph (a).
