    <footnotes>
        <footnote id="F1">On the Form 4 filed for Paul M. Dougan on April 6, 2001 (and again on Mr. Dougan's Form 4 filed March 18, 2003), 2,470 shares were incorrectly listed as being held by Mr. Dougan's spouse as trustee for her sister.  These 2,470 shares were actually held by Mr. Dougan's spouse in her individual capacity.  This amendment corrects these errors by decreasing the number of shares for which Mr. Dougan's spouse acts as trustee for her sister by 2,470 (to 1,000) and increasing the number of shares held by Mr. Dougan's spouse in her individual capacity by 2,470 (to 64,146).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Mr. Dougan disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares for which his spouse acts as trustee for her sister.</footnote>
