        <footnote id="F1">Amendment corrects amount of shares delivered to issuer to cover the minimum tax withholding liability incurred in connection with the exercise of an employee stock option.  The additional one share withheld should also have been reflected in the common stock balances reported in subsequently filed Forms 4; the balance of common stock directly held by the reporting person in those reports should therefore be reduced by one share.</footnote>
