        <footnote id="F1">8,436 shares include:  936 direct shares; and 7,500 restricted shares subject to restrictions which lapse ratably over a four year period beginning with the first anniversary of the date of grant (5/3/04).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Original grant of options on 20,000 shares was made on 6/5/00.  25% of the stock option became exercisable two years after the grant date (6/5/00) and an additional 25% of the remaining stock option becomes exercisable each year thereafter.  10,000 shares under this grant have been previously exercised and sold.  This leaves 10,000 shares available for exercise as the required vesting period expires.</footnote>
