Item 8.01.  Other Events.

       The table entitled "Aggregated Option/SAR Exercises in Last Fiscal Year
and Fiscal Year-End Option/SAR Values" in the definitive proxy statement of the
Registrant as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4,
2006 contained a typographical error regarding the number of shares acquired
upon exercises of stock options in the last fiscal year by Robert T. Cushing,
the Registrant's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The
correct number of shares acquired by Mr. Cushing upon exercise of stock options
was 123,176. All other information in the table with respect to Mr. Cushing,
including the information under the columns headed "Value Realized," "Number of
Securities Underlying Unexercised Options/SARs at FY-End," and "Value of
Unexercised In-the-Money Options/SARs at FY-End," was correct in the proxy
statement as filed on April 4, 2006. The corrected table is as follows:

             Aggregated Option/SAR Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and
                        Fiscal Year-End Option/SAR Values

value of unexercised options and stock appreciation rights as of December 31,
2005.
