Broker will enter an order to sell after the close of the market on the trading day preceding the respective Beginning Sales Date.  After each Beginning Sales Date, Broker shall continue selling shares until the total number of shares specified above with respect to that Beginning Sales Date are sold, provided that no shares are sold more than fifteen business days after the Beginning Sales Date.  Amounts remaining with respect to any Beginning Sales Date shall not be carried over to subsequent Beginning Sales Dates.

The Sales Plan shall be effective on the date of its execution and shall terminate on the earliest of (a) the date all 60,000 shares of Stock have been sold, (b) the death of the Seller or (c) May 23, 2005.  When selling Mr. Prince’s shares, the Broker must adhere to the schedule listed above.  If, however, any sale cannot be executed as specified in the Sales Plan because of a market disruption or a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to the Broker, the Broker shall effect such sale as promptly as possible after the cessation or termination of such market disruption, applicable restriction or other event, but only if such sale occurs prior to termination of the Sales Plan.

In the Sales Plan, Mr. Prince represents and warrants that: (a) as of the effective date of the Sales Plan, he is not aware of material, nonpublic information with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer (including the Common Stock); (b) as of the effective date of the Sales Plan, he is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction or undertaking that would prevent the Broker from conducting sales in accordance with the Sales Plan; and (c) he is entering into the Sales Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b5-1.  In addition, Mr. Prince agrees that he will be responsible for making all required Form 144 filings and making all filings, if any, required under Sections 13(d), 13(g) and 16 of the Exchange Act.

Mr. Prince does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in the following: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, other than the disposition of Common Stock in accordance with the Sales Plan; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the preceding actions may be, from time to time, proposed to and acted upon by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, of which Mr. Prince is Chairman, in the normal course of the Issuer’s business. Thus, in the normal course of discharging his duties as Chairman of the Board of the Issuer, and in his capacity as such, Mr. Prince may be required to consider or review any such plans or proposals.
