        <footnote id="F1">The original Form 3 was filed 4/24/2006 reporting direct ownership of 500 shares.  Based on erroneous information, a Form 3A was filed on 5/11/2007 amending the Form 3 filed on 4/24/2006 and reporting direct ownership of 1,000 shares.  This Form 3A is being filed to confirm that the originally reported direct ownership of 500 shares was correct as Scott Joseph Adelson has been the beneficial owner of 500 shares of common stock at all times since the filing of the Form 3 on 4/24/2006, other than such additional shares as have been reported on subsequently filed Form 4s and Form 5s.  This amendment does not affect the information in Table II of the original Form 3.</footnote>
