From this amount vested the Company has made a withholding of shares also reflected on this Form 4 to pay tax liabilities. The remaining unvested units are subject to forfeiture and will vest one-half per year beginning on 12/16/07.  The Phantom Stock Units will be settled one-for-one one in shares of common stock upon vesting.</footnote>
