These options were granted pursuant to the Issuer's Deferred Compensation
Program based on elections made in 2000 to defer income becoming payable in
2001.  The options are exempt under Rule 16b-3.  Since the number of shares
subject to option could not be determined until 2001 compensation levels were
determined, these options did not become reportable until 2001.
<F6>
The option vests in three equal annual installments beginning July 2, 2002.
