        <footnote id="F1">This transaction was originally timely reported on July 28, 2003 on a Form 4 in Table I as a disposition of shares of Common Stock in the amount of 800,000.  The reporting person has concluded that the Variable Prepaid Forward Agreement (the &quot;Contract&quot;) is properly reported in Table II as a derivative security since the shares subject to the Contract will not be disposed of until settlement.  In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock relating to the Contract is 728,000; the footnote has been revised accordingly.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">On July 24, 2003, the Unity Trust, of which the reporting person and his spouse are joint and sole trustees and beneficiaries (the &quot;Trust&quot;) entered into the Contract with an unrelated third party (&quot;Buyer&quot;) relating to 728,000 shares of Common Stock (the &quot;Base Number of Shares&quot;).  The Contract will be settled on the third business day following a valuation date initially established at July 24, 2006 (such date, as subject to adjustment as provided in the Contract, the &quot;Valuation Date&quot;).  The Contract specifies an &quot;Initial Price&quot; of $12.0100 per share and an initial cap price of $15.6130 per share, both of which are subject to adjustment for any cash dividends paid by the Issuer (as so adjusted, the &quot;Floor&quot; and the &quot;Cap&quot;).  (continued in Footnote 3)</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">At settlement, the Trust, unless it has elected cash settlement as described in the following sentence, will deliver to Buyer a number of shares equal to the lesser of (A) the Base Number of Shares and (B) the product of (i) the Base Number of Shares and (ii) the result of (x) divided by (y) where &quot;x&quot; is the sum, determined as of the Valuation Date, of the Floor and any amount by which the Valuation Date Final Price (a market-based price as determined under the terms of the Contract) exceeds the Cap and &quot;y&quot; is the Valuation Date Final Price.  In lieu of delivering shares, the Trust may elect cash settlement.  Pursuant to the Contract, the Trust received $7,370,585 from the Buyer representing the purchase price of the shares subject to the Contract based on the Initial Price and discounted to reflect prepayment.</footnote>
