        <footnote id="F1">On November 1, 2007, a charitable remainder trust of which the reporting person's spouse is a trustee and of which the
 reporting person and his spouse are beneficiaries distributed 95 shares of ESI common stock to each of the reporting person
 and his spouse, for a total of 190 shares of ESI common stock, in satisfaction of the trust's obligation to pay $23,800 to
 the reporting person and his spouse. The reporting person continues to report beneficial ownership of all of the ESI common
 stock held by the trust but disclaims beneficial ownership, except to the extent of his and his spouse's pecuniary interest
 therein.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Due to an exempt sale of shares by the administrator of the Company 401(k) Plan to refund an excess contribution to the
 Company 401(k) Plan, the number of shares of ESI common stock beneficially owned by the reporting person under the Company
 401(k) Plan is less than previously reported.</footnote>
