        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person has received an exempt award of Deferred Stock Units (&quot;DSUs&quot;) under the Company's 2003 Deferred Stock Unit Plan, as amended. DSUs represent a right to receive shares of the Company's common stock (or, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, cash, securities or other property equal to the fair market value thereof) upon termination of service as a Director of the Company.  The reporting person has elected to receive DSUs in lieu of the annual retainer fees payable for services on the Company's Board of Directors and any committees thereof.  The DSUs are awarded on the date such fees would otherwise be payable (i.e., quarterly in arrears). The DSUs are immediately vested.</footnote>
