(1)	These are shares of restricted stock that were granted as Elective Awards pursuant to the Registrant's Amended and Restated Independent Director Stock Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The number of shares received as Elective Awards includes shares issued as additional equity compensation as explained more fully in the Registrant's Form 8-K filed on December 6, 2004. The shares vest immediately, and are subject to a restriction on sale or transfer until the earlier of (i) the date the value of the director's common stock is equal to or greater than 200% of the director's Board Compensation (as defined in the Plan and determined as of December 15 for the ensuing year), or (ii) six months after the director ceases to be a director of the Registrant.
(2)	The number of shares reported as beneficially owned by the reporting person includes 117 shares held by the reporting person in a joint account with his emancipated son who does not live in the same household as the reporting person. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these 117 shares and the inclusion of these 117 shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission that the person is the beneficial owner of these 117 shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for any other purpose.
(3)	The share amount has been adjusted to give effect to a 3 for 2 stock split of the Registrant's common stock effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend that was paid on 09/15/2005 to all holders of record on 08/31/2005.
