        <footnote id="F1">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.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This represents an award of restricted stock units.  Each restricted stock  unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock.  Subject to the reporting person's continued service with the issuer, the award shall vest in four equal, annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant.</footnote>
