The Company's offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated February 13, 2006 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), (which together, as amended or supplemented from time to time, constitute the "Offer"). This Amendment No. 2 is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal were previously filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 11 Section 4.  "Withdrawal Rights"                The following shall be added to the end of the second paragraph underneath the caption "4.

Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any of these rights, and each of these rights shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time before the expiration of the offer (except in the case of the conditions related to regulatory matters, which may be asserted at any time prior to our acceptance of shares for payment). Any determination or judgment by us concerning the events described above will be final and binding on all parties, subject to a tendering stockholder disputing our determination or judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction."
