An Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock "against the box" and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement become effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.

By returning this Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

If the Company is required to file a new or additional registration statement to register Registrable Securities beneficially owned by the selling securityholder, the undersigned hereby agrees to complete and return to the Company, upon the request of the Company, a new Questionnaire (in a form substantially similar to this Questionnaire).

If the selling securityholder transfers all or any portion of its Registrable Securities after the date on which the information in this Questionnaire is provided to the Company, the undersigned hereby agrees to notify the transferee(s) at the time of transfer of its rights and obligations hereunder.

By signing below, the undersigned represents that the information provided herein is accurate and complete. The undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective.

By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein and the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement and

7



the related prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto. The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.
