DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to (i) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 33-98186) filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 1995 (the “1995 Registration Statement”) pertaining to the registration of 4,000,000 shares (as adjusted to reflect the 100% stock dividend in the form of a two-for-one stock split paid on January 16, 2001 (the “Stock Split”)) of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, issuable under the 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”); and (ii) the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-65757) filed by the Registrant with the SEC on October 16, 1998 (the “1998 Registration Statement”) registering an additional 3,000,000 shares (as adjusted to reflect the Stock Split) of common stock issuable under the Plan. The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to 1995 Registration Statement and the 1998 Registration Statement (collectively, the “Plan Registration Statements”) to deregister all shares of common stock that have not been sold or otherwise issued under the Plan.

The Plan has expired and no awards granted prior to the Plan’s expiration remain outstanding. In accordance with undertakings made by the Registrant in the Plan Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of post-effective amendments, any of the securities which had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes and withdraws from registration any and all such securities of the Registrant registered but unsold under the Plan Registration Statements, if any. The Plan Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
