Item 2: This Statement is filed on behalf of First Commercial

a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synovus Financial Corp., a Georgia
corporation ("Synovus"), having its principal business
address at 901 Front Street, Suite 202, P.O. Box 120,

and other factors deemed relevant, the Reporting Person may
decide to increase, decrease or maintain the size of its
investment in the Issuer.  Subject to these factors, the
Reporting Person may dispose of the Common Stock from time to
time in sales in public transactions, on or off the American

Person's knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule A,
has any plan or proposal which relates to, or could result in
any of the events referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j),
inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  However, the Reporting

depending upon one or more of the factors referred to above,
may in the future determine to take one or more of such actions.
