        <footnote id="F1">The original Form 4 reporting this transaction contained an error in the calculation of shares withheld to cover taxes associated with the distribution of deferred restricted stock, which also affected the shares owned directly following the reported transaction.  This amendment is being filed to correct (i) the amount of shares withheld to cover taxes associated with the distribution of deferred restricted stock, and (ii) the amount of shares owned directly following the reported transaction.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Includes 4,696 shares previously owned indirectly through the deferred compensation plan.</footnote>
