agreement  with his former spouse with respect to certain of his stock  options,
none of the  Common  Stock  beneficially  owned by Mr.  Barbour  is  pledged  or
otherwise  subject to a contingency  the  occurrence of which would give another
person voting power or investment power over such shares.
