        <footnote id="F1">The phantom stock units were awarded under the nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which directors could elect to
 defer their directors' fees by receiving phantom stock units payable in cash upon separation from service from the board.
 The plan was frozen on 12/31/2004.   These shares were acquired during the fiscal year pursuant to the dividend reinvestment
 component of the nonqualified deferred compensation plan which was frozen on 12/31/2004.  Upon separation from service  from
 the Board, phantom stock units will be settled in cash  at the then current market price of common stock.  Payment will be
 made during first quarter of 2007.</footnote>
