        <footnote id="F1">This represents shares withheld by the Company from an award of restricted stock units in satisfaction of the applicable withholding taxes due as a result of the vesting of those restricted stock units, through an automatic share withholding procedure.  Pursuant to this procedure, the Company withholds as the units vest, a portion of the vested shares issuable under the award with a fair market value (measured as of the vesting date) equal to the amount of such withholding taxes.  This filing is due to a clerical error in failing to report these shares at the time of the restricted stock vesting.</footnote>
