        <footnote id="F1">21,649 shares were incorrectly reported on Form 5 on 2/14/03 as 21,469 shares due to an administrative error.  The original Form 4 filed on 7/1/03 used the same calculations used on Form 5 filed on 2/14/03.  Form 5 was amended on 7/25/2003 to reflect 21,649 shares beneficially owned.  These shares are increased to reflect the same.</footnote>
