transfer any of its material assets or the assets of any of its subsidiaries; to

or to delist or terminate the registration of any securities of the Issuer; but
reserves the right to propose or undertake or participate in any of the
foregoing actions in the future.

     The Filing Persons intend to review on a continuing basis the investment in
the Common Stock and the Issuer's business affairs and financial condition, as
well as the price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities
market, and general economic and industry conditions, and may in the future take
such actions with respect to the investment as it may deem appropriate in light
of the circumstances existing from time to time, including the purchase of
shares of the Common Stock through open market purchases or privately negotiated
transactions, or the sale of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock
currently held by the Filing Persons.
