        <footnote id="F1">This transaction represents a portion of a planned stock sale by the William R. Kelly Trust (aka William R. Kelly Marital Trust) filed on Form 144 on June 22, 2006.  The Trust is selling shares for liquidity purposes to meet on-going estate tax obligations.  Mr. Adderley serves as Sole Trustee of the Trust and therefore the shares are attributable to Mr. Adderley for SEC reporting purposes.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Form 4 filed on belhalf of Mr. Adderly on 8/2/06, inadvertently reflected an adjustment to his direct holdings, decreasing them by 2,147 shares.  The reduction was the result of a distribution of shares (a non-reportable transaction) by a Trust of which Mr. Adderley serves as Co-Trustee and has an indirect ownership interest.  The adjustment should have been a reduction to his indirect holdings.  As such, this amended Form reflects Mr. Adderley's correct direct and indirect holdings along with the two transactions accurately reported on the 8/2/06 Form.</footnote>
