Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The deferred stock units are payable in stock, on a one-for-one basis, and are fully vested at grant. Distributions in respect of the deferred stock units will be made following termination of service as a director at times established in accordance with the terms of the applicable equity compensation plan of the Issuer.
(2)	This amended Form 4 is being filed solely to correct an inadvertent reporting error in the form of derivative security awarded as the annual service grant to directors. The Reporting Person originally reported an annual service grant of deferred stock units and stock options. This amended Form 4 corrects that original Form 4 to report solely the aggregate grant of 5,000 deferred stock units as shown in Table II.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
