Stock and of investing optional cash payments in Common Stock, all without payment of any brokerage commissions, service charge or other expense. To the extent such shares are purchased from the Company, the Company will receive additional funds to
finance the continuing operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Plan offers you an opportunity to invest conveniently for the long-term. The Plan is not intended to provide a mechanism for generating short-term profits or engaging in
other strategies involving rapid turnover of shares or proliferation of accounts. The Company accordingly reserves the right to refuse to allow participation in the Plan and/or to modify, suspend or terminate participation by otherwise eligible
record owners who engage in, or who the Company believes may engage in, such practices or other practices deemed by the Company to be inconsistent with the purposes of the Plan or detrimental to the Plan or other participants. </FONT></DIV>

gross income. When the Agent purchases shares for your Plan account in the open market with reinvested dividends, you must include in gross income a dividend equal to the actual price paid by the agent for those shares. </FONT></DIV> <P></P>

held that brokerage commissions and service charges paid by a corporation in connection with the open market purchase of shares pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan are includible in the gross income of participants in that plan. To the extent
that ruling is a correct interpretation of the law and applicable to the Plan, when shares are purchased for your Plan account in the open market, you must include in your gross income a dividend equal to that portion of any brokerage commissions
and service charges paid by the Company which are attributable to the purchase of such shares. Any such service charges included in income would be deductible by participants who itemize deductions. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT

or exchanged&#151; either by the Agent at your request or by you. (See Questions 17 and 18.) You also will recognize gain or loss when you receive a cash payment for a fractional share credited to your account. The amount of such gain or loss will

the shares are purchased for your Plan account. The tax basis of shares acquired by the Agent in the open market with reinvested dividends will be the purchase price thereof paid by the Agent plus an allocable share of any brokerage commissions paid
by the Company. The tax basis of shares purchased with an optional cash payment will be the amount of such optional cash payment plus allocable brokerage commissions. The holding period of shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, whether
