        <p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; MARGIN-TOP: 5pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 5pt"><font size="2">The shares will be purchased in the open market, by block purchases or in private transactions, based on prevailing market conditions and price limits, and the stock repurchase program is authorized for the year 2010. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The company had approximately 8.9 million shares of common stock outstanding as of January 29, 2010. The shares repurchased will be
        available for re-issuance to satisfy employee stock plans and for other corporate purposes. The board also approved entering into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows the company to repurchase the company&rsquo;s common stock in the open market during periods in which stock trading is otherwise closed for the company. The discretionary repurchase provisions and the 10b5-1 provisions of the program are expected to be effective starting March 3, 2010.</font></p>
