        <footnote id="F1">These deferred fee phantom stock units were issued in payment of non-executive director fees pursuant to the Issuer's 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (Plan).  Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock.  The shares of phantom stock become payable in common stock of the Issuer upon the reporting person's termination of service as a director or as otherwise provided in the reporting person's deferral election.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The number of phantom stock units is calculated to the third decimal place in accordance with the Plan.  On the original Form 4, a comma was inadvertently substituted for the decimal point.</footnote>
