=========

No Selling Holder has, or within the past three years has had, any
position, office or other material relationship with the Trust or the Company or
any of their predecessors or affiliates. After the Selling Holders have sold the
amount of Securities being offered pursuant to this Prospectus, the Selling
Holders will not hold any Securities.

The Registration Statement of which the Prospectus is a part has been
filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act to afford the holders of the
Convertible Preferred Securities (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Securities) the opportunity to sell
their Securities in public transactions rather than pursuant to an exemption
from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities
Act. In order to avail itself of that opportunity, a Selling Holder not listed
in the table above must notify the Company of its intention to sell Securities
and provide such other information concerning the Selling Holder and the
Securities to be sold as may then be required by the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations thereunder, as applicable. No offer or sale pursuant to
this Prospectus may be made by any such Selling Holder until such a request has
been made and until any supplement to this Prospectus has been filed or an
amendment to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part has
become effective. The Company will from time to time supplement or amend the
Prospectus or the Registration Statement, as applicable, to add additional
information concerning Selling Holders. The Selling Holders may from time to
time offer and sell pursuant to this Prospectus any or all of the Securities and
any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Securities.
The supplements to this Prospectus will also disclose whether any Selling Holder
selling in connection with such supplement has held any position or office with,
been employed by or otherwise has had a material relationship with, the Company
or any of its affiliates during the three years prior to the date of such
supplement if such information has not been disclosed herein.
