        <footnote id="F1">On January 4, 2005, the reporting person mistakenly filed a Form 4 reporting a sale of 7,482 shares of common stock by the Rhodes Foundation and 10,600 shares of common stock held by the Rhodes Foundation as indirect holding by the reporting person.  Since the Rhodes Foundation is a Section 501(c)(3) charitable trust and that the reporting person does not have any pecuniary interest in the trust, the reporting person should not have included the holding by the Rhodes Foundation in his reporting.  As of January 4, 2005, the reporting person owned 90,855 shares of common stock directly and 0 shares indirectly.</footnote>
