Any ballot marked  'Abstain' is considered  to have been voted.  Ballots  marked

shareholders 'Abstain.'

Where  management has recommended that  shareholders  'Abstain' from voting on a
ballot item: 1) a ballot  market  'Abstain' is considered to have been voted for
management's  recommendation  to  'Abstain'  and  2) a  ballot  voted  'For"  or
'Against' is considered to have been voted against  management's  recommendation
to 'Abstain.'

Where management has made no  recommendation  on a ballot item, the abbreviation
"N/A" is used to denote that there is no applicable  recommendation  compared to
which a vote may be 'For' or 'Against' the recommendation of management.
