Item 4.  Purpose Of The Transaction
-------  --------------------------

         The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares is for investment, and the
acquisitions  of the Shares by each of the Funds and the Managed  Accounts  were
made in the  ordinary  course of  business  and were not made for the purpose of
acquiring control of the Company.
         Although  no  Reporting  Person has any  specific  plan or  proposal to
acquire or  dispose of Shares,  consistent  with its  investment  purpose,  each
Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Shares
or dispose of any or all of its Shares  depending upon an ongoing  evaluation of
the investment in the Shares,  prevailing  market  conditions,  other investment
opportunities,  liquidity  requirements  of the  Reporting  Person  and/or other
investment  considerations.   No  Reporting  Person  has  made  a  determination
regarding a maximum or minimum


                              Page 31 of 59 Pages



number of Shares which it may hold at any point in time.
         Also,  consistent with their investment  intent,  the Reporting Persons
may engage in communications  with one or more shareholders of the Company,  one
or more  officers  of the  Company  and/or  one or more  members of the board of
directors of the Company regarding the Company, including but not limited to its
operations.
         Except to the extent the  foregoing  may be deemed a plan or  proposal,
none of the  Reporting  Persons has any plans or  proposals  which relate to, or
could result in, any of the matters  referred to in paragraphs  (a) through (j),
inclusive,  of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons

thereto.
