        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person acquired restricted stock units (RSUs) under the Company's Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan with money deferred by the reporting person for services earned as a director.  Each RSU is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock.  The RSUs are convertible into common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis upon distribution from the Plan upon termination of service as a director.  The decision to acquire RSUs is irrevocable.</footnote>
