        <footnote id="F1">The May 2005 Form 3 inadvertently incorrectly stated some of the line item information for the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debenture (the &quot;Debenture&quot;), previously incorrectly titled the 7% Convertible Subordinated Debenture Due 11/7/2008 in the May 2005 Form 3, including the exercise date, expiration date, amount of shares and conversion price.  This line item corrects and restates that information in its entirety.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Exercisable immediately.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The maturity date of the Debenture was January 27, 2003.  However, the Debenture remained convertible into shares of Common Stock until paid in full.  The Debenture and all interests thereon were paid in full on July 15, 2005, and are no longer outstanding.</footnote>

    <remarks>The Form 3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 13, 2005 (the &quot;May 2005 Form 3&quot;) inadvertently incorrectly stated the address of the Arch C. Scurlock Children's Trust.  This Form 3/A states the correct address.</remarks>
