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 transactions reported in this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on November 7, 2005.
(2) Because the SEC's electronic filing system does not allow for the disclosure of more than 30 transactions on one Form 4, the reporting person is filing two simultaneous Form 4 to report his transactions, both of which together shall be deemed a single report filed on this date. This is the first Form 4 of the two filings.

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.
