        <footnote id="F1">The original Form 4 inadvertently included 6,650 &quot;performance shares&quot; in the number of securities beneficially owned by Ms. Gomez.  This amended Form 4 is identical to the original Form 4 except for changes in Column 5 to reflect the exclusion of the performance shares.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The minimum number of shares were sold solely for the purpose of meeting tax withholding and option price exercise requirements and to satisfy broker commissions.  Ms. Gomez retained all other shares received upon the noted option exercises.</footnote>
