transactions beginning in May 1996. On January 21, 1999, Mr. Friedman was
elected to the Board of Directors of the Company. Since, pursuant to Section 141
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the business of the Company is to be
managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors, the Reporting
Persons believe that Rule 13d-1(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, now requires the Reporting Persons to file this Statement on Schedule
13D rather than on Schedule 13G. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim any
intention to control or acquire control of the Company. While the Board of
Directors (of which Mr. Friedman is now a member) may from time to time consider
matters of a nature similar to one or more of the actions enumerated under Item
4 of Schedule 13D, there exist at this time no plans or proposals which require
disclosure pursuant thereto.

          The reporting persons reserve the right to acquire additional shares
of Common Stock of the Company, or to dispose of some or all of their shares of
Common Stock of the Company, in accordance with applicable regulations.
