Agreement to exceed 1.38 million shares.

Company. The acquisition of the Securities by Kurt Priester will not cause a 
change in the structure of management or the board of directors of the 
Issuer, nor will it affect a change in the Issuer's articles of 
incorporation, bylaws, or  current dividend policy.  Kurt Priester has no

ownership of 1,032,039 shares of Common Stock (13.1% of the total number of 
shares of Common Stock outstanding) directly from the Issuer in a
