Benefit Plans
-------------
The Blackout Trading Restriction period previously announced
for the Registrant's retirement savings plans under Registrant's Form 10-Q for
its first quarter of 2003, filed with the Commission on May 15, 2003, terminated
one week early on June 23, 2003, rather than June 30, 2003 as originally
announced, due to unexpected efficiencies in effecting the transition by the
plans' new administrator. All plan participants were timely notified of this
early termination of the Blackout Period, as were the Registrant's executive
officers and directors as called for under Regulation BTR.
