<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=3>I just wanted to let everyone know that OU will be closed on Tuesday January 2, 2007 due to the National Day of Mourning for former President Gerald Ford. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial>THERE IS NO NEED TO CHANGE ANY OF OUR SCHEDULED DISBURSEMENTS BECAUSE OF THIS CLOSURE. We will reopen on Wednesday January 3, 2007 and can process any disbursement files sent to us on January 2 at that time, we'll still meet the regulatory requirements for the three day window. If you feel the need to converse with me before we return on January 3, my numbers are below. </FONT></DIV>
