        <footnote id="F1">The original Form 4 to which this amendment relates erroneously reported a sale of shares held by the reporting person's spouse as a sale of shares held by him, and this amendment is being filed to correct that error.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Form 4, as previously amended, to which this amendment relates inadvertently omitted beneficial ownership information with respect to the reporting person's spouse, and this amendment corrects that omission. This amendment also omits beneficial ownership information for the reporting person's two daughters, as they did not then reside with the reporting person and such information was inadvertently included in the Form 4, as previously amended, to which this amendment relates.</footnote>
