Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 29, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2010 (the Form 10-Q), is being filed to correct discrepancies in the interactive data files furnished as Exhibit 101 to the Company’s Form 10-Q. During the Company’s post-filing review of the XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) information contained in Exhibit 101 to the Form 10-Q, it noted discrepancies in the financial data related to the numeric scale millions. Certain numerical amounts were inadvertently rendered in dollars as shown without being correctly designated in millions.  The Company has corrected the millions scale discrepancies in the XBRL data furnished as Exhibit 101 to this Amendment No. 1. The remainder of the interactive data files, which were correctly stated in the Form 10-Q, are also included in Exhibit 101 being furnished with this Amendment No. 1.

No other changes have been made to the Form 10-Q other than as described above.  This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Form 10-Q or modify or update in any way disclosures made in the Form 10-Q.

Pursuant to Rule 406T of Regulation S-T, the interactive data files on Exhibit 101 hereto are deemed not filed or part of a registration statement or prospectus for purposes of sections 11 or 12 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are deemed not filed for purposes of section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and otherwise are not subject to liability under those sections.
