Correction to Notice of 2006 Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement
     The description under the heading “Compensation of the Board” on page 6 of the proxy statement contains an incorrect number in the second line. Effective as of the Annual Meeting, on an annual basis, at the annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are elected, each non-employee director will be awarded 4,500 shares of restricted stock, not 4,000 shares as shown on page 6 of the proxy statement.
