exhibit.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 to the Form 8-K, the information
under  this Item 7.01 and the press release exhibit to this Form 8-K  shall
not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act  of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to  the
liabilities of that Section 18, nor shall such information and  exhibit  be
deemed  incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange  Act  or

forward-looking  statements  within the  meaning  of  Section  27A  of  the
Securities  Act  and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.  Such forward-looking
statements are based on information currently available to the registrant's
management  and  are current only as of the date made.   For  that  reason,
undue  reliance should not be placed on any such forward-looking statement.

time  as  management believes is warranted.  Any such updates or  revisions
may  be made by filing reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
through  the  issuance  of  press releases or by other  methods  of  public
disclosure.
