        <footnote id="F1">This disposition is the result of shares being withheld in order to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock previously granted and reported by the reporting person.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The amendment corrects (i) the amount of securities beneficially owned directly and (ii) the amount of securities benefically owned indirectly following the transaction.  These amounts were in error due to the withheld shares having been incorrectly deducted from the  indirectly owned securities instead of the directly owned securities. The total amount of securities beneficially owned following the reported transaction is correct and remains unchanged.</footnote>
