               relate to or result in: (a) the acquisition by any
               person of additional securities of the Issuer; (b) an
               extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
               reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or
               any of its subsidiaries; (c) the sale or transfer of a
               material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its
               subsidiaries; (d) any change in the board of directors
               or management of the Issuer, including any plans or

               acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h)
               any other action similar to those enumerated above.
               The Reporting Persons also reserve the right to take
               other actions to influence the management of the Issuer
               should they deem such actions appropriate.
