        <footnote id="F2">Shares earned from February 20, 2008 Target Awards based on 2008-2009 Company financial performance.  Shares are subject to forfeiture until 3/1/2011.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The reporting person's share totals and/or ownership classifications have been updated and/or adjusted as set forth above as a result of the Company's internal audit of the beneficial share ownership of the Company's common stock by the Company's directors and Section 16(a) reporting officers.  The Company's audit did not identify any violations of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  To the extent this Form 4 updates or adjusts the beneficial share ownership amounts or classifications reported on previously filed Form 4s, this Form 4 serves as an amendment to any such previously filed Form 4s.</footnote>
