The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares for investment purposes. The

maintaining their holdings at current levels or selling all or a portion
of their holdings in the open-market or in privately negotiated
transactions. Any such actions the Reporting Persons undertake will be
dependent upon, among other things, the availability of shares
of the Issuer for purchase and the price levels of such shares; general
market and economic conditions; on-going evaluation of the Issuer's
business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the relative
attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities;
the availability of funds for the purchase of additional shares of the
Issuer; the actions of the management and Board of Directors of the
Issuer; and other future developments. Although the foregoing reflects
activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect
