The Plan states that each Plan participant shall

vote shares which are not allocated to
participants accounts and unvoted shares.

New York Corporation, such voting power is merely a
residual power based upon the occurrence of an
unlikely contingency and is not a sole or shared
power to vote the securities, the Bank and
Bankers Trust New York Corporation hereby
disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.
