(3)   This Registration Statement also relates to rights to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Registrant which are attached to all shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of the Registrant’s Shareholder Rights Agreement dated as of August 10, 2004. Until the occurrence of certain prescribed events, the rights are not exercisable, are evidenced by the certificate for the Common Stock and will be transferred with and only with such Common Stock. Because no separate consideration is paid for the rights, the registration fee therefore is included in the fee for Common Stock.
