EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Form 10-Q filed by us for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010, which was originally filed on November 3, 2010 (the “Original 10-Q”). We are filing this Amendment as required by the SEC staff based on their internal policies in connection with their review of our confidential treatment request filed with the Original 10-Q. The Amendment involves no material information or changes to the Original 10-Q. Based on these SEC policies, we must re-file the entire Exhibit 10.3 to the Original 10-Q (the Company’s 2008-2010 Long-Term Incentive Program under our Stock Incentive Plan) in order to reflect the intervening completion of the performance period and the subsequent disclosure of the performance metrics in our proxy statement for our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Consistent with this change, Item 6 of Part II and new Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are being filed, as required by the Commission regulations.

Except as set forth above, the Original 10-Q is not amended, updated, or otherwise modified. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after November 3, 2010, the date of the Original 10-Q, or modify or update those disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.
