The Company’s proxy statement, first distributed to stockholders beginning March 16, 2005, relating to the Company’s 2005 annual meeting to be held on April 20, 2005 had an error in the summary compensation table (page 23 of your proxy statement) relating to the 2004 bonus of Mr. Logue. The table and footnotes on the following pages (numbered pages 23 and 24) correct that entry and contain information relating to the bonus in footnote (5). Please use these pages instead of the corresponding pages in your bound proxy statement. We apologize for the error.
