        a registered investment adviser, which has a beneficial interest in
        the shares by virtue of its discretion over, and shared power to
        dispose of, the shares.  Sterling Capital Management also shares
        with a client the power to vote 2,250 of these 174,208 shares.
        23,650 of the total aggregate shares are owned in an individual
        capacity or as Custodian by William G. Lauber, President of

        9,000 shares of the total aggregate shares are owned by
        William G. Lauber & Janice C. Lauber jointly. Since each has the
