                            KEY FEATURES OF THE PLAN

AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT

If you are a stockholder of record, you can reinvest all or a portion of your
dividends in additional shares of our common stock. The dividends of all plan
participants will be used to buy additional shares of common stock at a 5%
discount from the prevailing market price. There is no automatic dividend
reinvestment available for this plan. If you wish to participate in the plan,
you must enroll in the plan.

TRANSACTION REPORTING

As a plan participant, you will receive a notice after each reinvestment of
dividends and optional cash purchase, if any, showing the details of each
transaction and the share balance in your plan account.

                        TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN

1.   HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN?

If you are a stockholder of record, the reinvestment service is offered at no
transaction cost and you may elect to reinvest all or part of your dividends.
You will have electronic access to your account online over the Internet and
will receive quarterly account statements.

3.   HOW DO I GET STARTED?

If you are a stockholder of record, enrollment is available online through
Investor ServiceDirect(R) (see Question 28 for information on how to access
Investor ServiceDirect(R)). Alternatively, you may enroll by completing the
enclosed Enrollment Form along with the items required and mailing them to the
administrator in the reply envelope. Your participation will begin after your
authorization is received. Once you have enrolled, your participation continues
automatically, as long as you wish.

4.   HOW DO I REINVEST DIVIDENDS?

You may choose to reinvest all or a portion of the cash dividends paid on shares
of common stock you own in additional shares of common stock. If you elect to
reinvest dividends you will receive a quarterly account statement, transaction
notices and have electronic access to your account.

If you elect to reinvest your dividends, you must choose one of the following
when completing the Dividend Reinvestment section of the Enrollment Form:

     FULL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT: You may purchase additional shares of common
     stock by reinvesting all of your cash dividends, if you have at least 25
     shares registered in your name.




     PARTIAL DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT: Receive a cash dividend payment based on the
     number of full shares you specify and reinvest the dividends on all
     remaining shares. This option allows you to receive a fixed amount of cash
     each quarter (assuming the dividend stays the same). If you choose to
     reinvest less than all your dividends, you must specify the percent of
     shares specified to be reinvested. The percentage of your shares specified
     to be reinvested must total the dividend amount you would receive on at
     least 25 shares.

You may, of course, choose not to reinvest any of your dividends, in which case
the administrator will remit any dividends to you.

22.  HOW WILL I KEEP TRACK OF MY INVESTMENTS?

The administrator will send you a transaction notice confirming the details of
each transaction you make. If you continue to participate in the plan but have
no transactions, the administrator will send you an annual statement after the
end of the year detailing the status of your holdings of common stock in your
plan account. Stockholders who have elected to have their dividends reinvested
will receive a quarterly plan account statement in addition to the transaction
notices.
