        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person entered a &quot;zero cost collar&quot; arrangement pursuant to which he wrote a covered call option and purchased a put option.  Only one of these options can be in the money on the expiration date at which time the in the money option will be exercised (and settled for cash) and the other option will expire.  If neither option is in the money on the expiration date, both options will expire.  This is to record the expiration of the Put &amp; Call agreements.</footnote>
