(b) Mr. Hewitt is one of five directors of Rock River Trust Company ("RRTC"), which beneficially owns 87,029 shares of Issuer common stock, as Trustee of various trusts. RRTC is an Illinois chartered trust company with a principal business address at 4709 44th Street, Suite 5, Rock Island, IL 61201. RRTC has not, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding nor been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. (a) Mr. Hewitt is a business associate of Mr. William T. Atkins, a director of AmeriVest Properties Inc. Because their acquisition, voting, and disposition activities could cause 4 them to be deemed to be a "group" (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Atkins have entered into an agreement evidencing that, unless and until either person decides otherwise, each will conduct his activities with respect to the Issuer's securities as if the two of them are a "group" (as defined in Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
