Item 5 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and restated with the following:

 

Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock included in this report, and the filing of this report shall not be construed as an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of any such securities for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.

IV.4.                     Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with the Restated Articles, and other documents contemplated by this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
