ferred to herein shall have the same meanings as those set

forth in the previously filed Schedule 13D.

          The filing of this Amended Statement on Schedule

strued as, an admission that either the Trust or First Inter-

state Bank of Arizona, N.A., as trustee of the Trust (the

"Trustee"), beneficially owns any securities covered by this

Amended Statement or is required to file this Amended State-

ment.  In this connection, the Trust and the Trustee disclaim

beneficial ownership of the securities covered by this

Amended Statement.
