As of December 31, 2009, the Plan was the beneficial owner, as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of a total of 276,004 shares of the Company's Common Stock or approximately 5.4% of the total outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The Plan has shared voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by the Plan in participant accounts.

The trustee of the Plan (the "Trustee") may be deemed to beneficially own all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Plan.  However, the Trustee expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of all of such shares.  Other than the shares held by the Plan, the Trustee does not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.  Pursuant to the Plan, participants in the Plan are entitled to instruct the Trustee as to the voting of the shares of Common Stock held in their Plan accounts.  On each issue with respect to which shareholders are entitled to vote, the Trustee is required to vote the shares held by the Plan for which the Trustee has not received voting instructions from the participants in the manner directed under the Plan.

Item 5.  Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

Not applicable.

Item 6.  Ownership of More Than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person.

No additional shares of Common Stock may be purchased by participants through the Plan.  Participants in the Plan have the right to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock held in their plan accounts which were previously acquired under the terms of the Plan.  Vested participants also have the right upon employment termination, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, to elect an in-kind distribution of the Company's Common Stock to the extent of their holdings in the Common Stock.  Accordingly, any dividends on the Common Stock and the proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock are credited to participants who hold such shares and/or have elected to dispose of such shares.

Item 7.  Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on by the Parent Holding Company or Control Person.

Not applicable.
