        <footnote id="F2">Represents the maximum number of shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock units, which vest as follows: 333 on
 each of 2/1/2008, 2/1/2009 and 2/1/2010, and 332 on 2/1/2011.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The restricted stock units were granted to the reporting person without payment thereof as compensation for serving as a
 director of the issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Due to an administrative error, the original Form 4 inadvertently reported an incorrect number of shares owned directly by
 the reporting person following the reported transaction, and omitted the shares owned indirectly by the reporting person
 following the reported transaction.  This amendment reports the correct amounts and forms of ownership following the
 reported transaction.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">Shares owned by A. Wilhelmsen AS.  The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares, except to the extent
 of his pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
