(1) The exercise price applicable to such shares is not currently known. The price of $20.69 per share, which is the average of the high and low price of the Common Stock of the Registrant as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on June 14, 2004, is set forth solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

(2) Pursuant to the Rights Agreement of the Registrant between the Registrant and Fleet National Bank, one common share purchase right of the Registrant (each a “Right”) is deemed to be delivered with each share of Common Stock issued by the Registrant. The Rights currently are not separately transferable apart from the Common Stock, nor are they exercisable until the occurrence of certain events. Accordingly, no independent value has been attributed to the Rights.


This Registration Statement registers additional securities of the same class as other securities for which Registration Statement Nos. 333-07177, 333-56373 and 33-101983 on Form S-8, each relating to the Registrant’s 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 28, 1996, June 9, 1998 and December 19, 2002, respectively, are effective. Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the above listed Registration Statements are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
