        <footnote id="F4">These shares of common stock were awarded as a 2004 long-term incentive pursuant to Article 13 of the company's 2004 Stock
 Option and Incentive Plan. Such shares vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year after the date of grant so
 long as Mr. Pryor has not voluntarily terminated his employment with the company or been terminated for cause at the
 respective vesting dates, all in accordance with the Plan. The 2004 long-term incentive is consistent with the
 recommendations provided by an independent compensation consultant to the company. Using its authority to do so, the
 Compensation Committee approved the restricted stock grant on January 7, 2005. This grant was reaffirmed by the full Board
 of Directors on January 14, 2005.</footnote>
