Remarks:
When a stock split occurred, the share tracking software used by the Company applied the stock split protocol to the entire share balance owned by the reporting insider and generated a single fractional share.  However, the insider held his shares in several accounts.  When the stock split protocol was applied to the separate share balance in each of the accounts, multiple fractional shares (and pay in lieu thereof) were generated.  Because of this different application of the stock split protocol, the number of shares report by the Company exceeded the number of shares actually owned by the insider.  This transaction corrects this over-reporting by reducing the number of shares owned by the insider to the correct number.

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