EXPLANATORY NOTE

On May 2, 2001, the Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-60020) to register 3,500,000 shares of its common stock issuable on the exercise of options under its 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan.  Options to purchase 2,467,335 shares of common stock are outstanding under the 2000 Plan and 427,558 shares have been issued on exercise of options.

On July 27, 2005, the Registrant’s stockholders approved the 2005 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”).  The 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 3,100,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock.  No further options will be granted under the 2000 Plan, but options granted under that plan will continue to remain outstanding under the terms thereof.

Pursuant to the telephonic interpretation of the Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in Section G. Securities Act Forms, Interpretation No. 89 of the Division of Corporation Finance’s Manual of Public Available Telephone Interpretations (July 1997), and Instruction E to Form S-8, the Registrant hereby carries forward from this Registration Statement to a new Registration Statement on Form S-8 being filed concurrently herewith, 605,000 shares of its common stock previously registered on the Registration Statement being amended hereby.  As a result of filing this amendment, 2,467,335 shares of the Registrant’s common stock remain registered and unsold under this Registration Statement File No. 333-60020.  Pursuant to the Registrant’s undertakings, any securities remaining unsold at the termination of the offering represented by this Registration Statement File No. 333-60020 will be removed from registration by means of a post-effective amendment.
