        <footnote id="F1">This transaction involved a gift of securities by the reporting person's spouse' trust to a trust for the benefit of one of her daughters.  The reporting person is the trustee under both trusts. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the trust for the benefit of her daughter, and this report should not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of these shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.  The original Form 4 reported the gift from her spouse's trust but did not report the contribution of the shares to the trust for the benefit of her daughter.</footnote>
