        <footnote id="F1">The units are Deferred Stock Units (&quot;DSUs&quot;) awarded under the Directors' Deferred Stock Unit Plan (the &quot;Plan&quot;).  DSUs convert into shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.  The DSUs were awarded to the reporting person following his appointment by the Board of Directors to serve as a member of the Audit Committee, consistent with the provisions of the Plan.  Upon termination of service on the Board of Directors, all such DSUs are payable in cash as a lump sum or in installments, at the election of the director.</footnote>
