Form 4s filed subsequent to 4/13/00 reported total shares that had been adjusted over time to reflect stock splits.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Shares owned by trusts as to which Mr. Diamond's spouse serves either as trustee or trust advisor of various family trusts.  Mr. Diamond disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
