also acknowledges that there exists the possibility of a Change in Control of the Company, although there has been no suggestion of any consideration of such a change from any source. The Company recognizes that the possibility of a Change in
Control may contribute to uncertainty on the part of senior management and may result in the departure or distraction of senior management from their operating responsibilities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

shareholders. In the event of a threat or occurrence of a bid to acquire or change control of the Company or to effect a business combination, it is particularly important that the business of the Company be continued with a minimum of disruption.
The Company believes that the objective of securing and retaining outstanding management will be achieved if the Company&#146;s key management employees are given assurances of employment security so that they will not be distracted by personal
uncertainties and risks created by such circumstances. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">NOW,
