to be settled in an equal number of shares of common stock upon Mr. Quick's retirement from the Board of Directors. Mr
Quick may bot transfer or otherwise dispose of the restricted stock units as long as he is serving as a director of the
Company.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The shares were granted pursuant to a stock option plan of the Company, so a purchase price is not applicable. The
