        <footnote id="F1">This Form 4/A is being filed to amend the original Form 4 filed by the Reporting Person on November 13, 2007. The original Form 4 reported that the deferred stock units (DSUs) reported therein vest in three equal annual installments commencing on November 8, 2007. The vesting dates for such DSUs are as follows: (1) 183,333 DSUs vest on January 1, 2009, (2) 183,333 DSUs vest on November 8, 2009 and (3) 183,334 DSUs vest on November 8, 2010. In addition, the original Form 4 reported that 366,666 shares of common stock underlying such DSUs are distributable on January 1, 2010 and 183,334 shares of common stock underlying such DSUs are distributable on January 1, 2011. These distribution dates remain unchanged. (cont'd footnote 2)</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">However, to the extent the Issuer is in a black-out period on any such distribution date, the shares of common stock underlying such DSUs will be distributed on the first date on which the Reporting Person is able to freely sell securities of the Issuer following such black-out period, but in any event no later than the last day of the calendar year in which such distribution was originally scheduled to be made. There are no other changes to the original Form 4.</footnote>
