</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware
corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating or limiting a director&#146;s personal liability to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, including
conduct which could be characterized as negligence or gross negligence. The
Delaware General Corporation Law expressly provides, however, that the
liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, the
unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful dividends or
the receipt of improper personal benefits cannot be eliminated or limited in
this manner. The Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that no
such provision

<P><FONT size="2"> shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or
omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.
Article&nbsp;Ninth of the Registrant&#146;s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that a director shall not be liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law makes provision for
the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents against
expense, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred in connection
with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Article&nbsp;VIII of the
Registrant&#146;s By-laws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant carries insurance that purports to insure its officers and
directors against certain liabilities incurred by them in the discharge of
their official functions.
</FONT>
<P><FONT size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that
the Registrant indemnify such directors to the fullest extent permitted by law
and advance to the directors all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if
it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted.

Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Estimated solely for the purpose of computing the registration fee.
Pursuant to Rule 457(h), the calculation of the registration fee is
based on the average of the high and low sales prices of the
Registrant's Common Stock on May 13, 2003, as reported by The Nasdaq
Stock Market, Inc.
Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this
Registration Statement also shall cover any additional shares of Common Stock
which become issuable under the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan by reason of any
stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction
effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in
the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which are on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are incorporated herein by reference
and made a part hereof:
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002, as filed with the Commission on March 31, 2003.
The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March
31, 2003, as filed with the Commission on May 7, 2003.
The Registrant's current reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on
January 8, 2003 and March 14, 2003.
The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained in its
Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") including any amendment
or report filed for the purpose of updating such information.
In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a Delaware
corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating or limiting a director's personal liability to the corporation or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, including
conduct which could be characterized as negligence or gross negligence. The
Delaware General Corporation Law expressly provides, however, that the
liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good
faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, the
unlawful purchase or redemption of stock or payment of unlawful dividends or
the receipt of improper personal benefits cannot be eliminated or limited in
this manner. The Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that no
such provision
2
shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or
omission occurring prior to the date when such provision becomes effective.
Article Ninth of the Registrant's Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that a director shall not be liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law makes provision for
the indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents against
expense, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred in connection
with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation. Article VIII of the
Registrant's By-laws provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law.
The Registrant carries insurance that purports to insure its officers and
directors against certain liabilities incurred by them in the discharge of
their official functions.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors. The indemnification agreements require, among other things, that
the Registrant indemnify such directors to the fullest extent permitted by law
and advance to the directors all related expenses, subject to reimbursement if
it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted.
Item 8.  Exhibits.
The following exhibits are filed as part of this Registration Statement

Exhibit 1 to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on
August 4, 1998, including Form of Rights Certificate).
23.1     Consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP (filed herewith).
24.1     Power of Attorney (contained on signature page hereto).
Item 9.  Undertakings
(a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
to file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement to include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in this Registration Statement;
(2)
that, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering
of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(3)
to remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
