shares.  While the  Partnership has no present plans or proposals that relate to
or would result in any change in the business, policies,  management,  structure
or  capitalization   of  the  Issuer,   the  Partnership  may  communicate  with
shareholders  and various  parties  including  the  management  and the board of
