        <footnote id="F1">This amendment is being filed to correct what had been previously reported as a cashless exercise of a stock option; the option was exercised for cash.  The information reported in the line item in the original report under Transaction Code F should be deemed deleted.  The information included in this report merely restates information that was already included in the original report and is repeated here merely to state the correct end of period holding.</footnote>
