Remarks:
A limited partnership holding 500,000 shares of the issuer has pledged such shares in connection with a non-recourse loan in
 the aggregate amount of $289,000.  The loan was funded in three separate advances at 85% of the market value of the shares
 on the date of the respective advance.  The respective per-share loan amounts were $0.6214 (with respect to the advance made
 on 11/10/2004), $0.5695 (with respect to the advance made on 11/17/2004), and $0.5588 (with respect to the advance made on
 11/27/2004).  The non-recourse loan includes a "cap" feature pursuant to which the limited partnership has agreed that if
 the market value of the pledged shares at maturity of the loan exceeds the applicable per-share "cap" amount reflected in
 Column 2 above, in each case multiplied by the respective number of shares pledged with respect to such advance (the "Capped
 Portfolio Price"), then the limited partnership will either (i) pay to the lender the difference (the "Cap Differential
 Amount") between the market value of all such shares at maturity and the Capped Portfolio Price or (ii) allow the lender to
 purchase such shares at the Capped Portfolio Price and have no further obligation.  Upon maturity of the note, the limited
 partnership may exercise any of the following options: (i) pay off the loan balance, any Cap Differential Amount and accrued
 interest and receive back the pledged shares, (ii) sell the pledged shares to the lender at the Capped Portfolio Price, at
 the lender's discretion, and receive cash proceeds net of principal and accrued interest, (iii) not repay loan amount or
 accrued interest and forfeit pledged shares to the lender with no further liability, or (iv) renew the loan arrangement.
