<p align=center><b>PART II</b></p>

<p align=center><b>INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT</b></p>

<p><b>Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.</b></p>

<p><blockquote>The following documents are incorporated by reference herein:</p>

<p>(a) The Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2002;</p>

<p>(b)	The Registrant's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2003;</p>

<p>(c)	The Registrant's current reports on Form 8-K filed on February 13, 2003 and July 16, 2003, respectively;</p>

<p>(d)	All other reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), since December 31, 2002; and</p>

<p>(e)	The description of Registrant's common stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-49568) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2000, including any amendment filed for the purpose of updating such description.</blockquote></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this Registration Statement and 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 are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of filing of such documents (such documents, and the documents enumerated above, being hereinafter referred to as "Incorporated Documents").</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any statement contained in an Incorporated Document shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed Incorporated Document modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.</p>

<p><b>Item 4. Description of Securities.</b></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not applicable.</p>

<p><b>Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.</b></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not applicable.</p>

<p><b>Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</b></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide that the Registrant shall, subject to certain limitations, indemnify its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to have been unlawful.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. The enabling statute provides, however, that 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, and 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 Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance, which provides coverage against liabilities. In addition, some of the Registrant's directors are indemnified against liabilities that they may incur in their capacities as directors by third parties with which they are affiliated.</p>

<p><b>Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.</b></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Not applicable.</p>

<p><b>Item 8. Exhibits.</b></p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Exhibits accompanying this Registration Statement are listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index.</p>

<p><b>Item 9. Undertakings.</b></p>

<p><blockquote>(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:</p>

<p><blockquote>(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:</p>

<p><blockquote>(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;</p>

<p>(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;</p>

<p>(iii)	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; </blockquote></p>

<p><i>provided, however,</i> that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.</p>

<p>(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 <i>bona fide</i> offering thereof.</p>

<p>(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.</blockquote></p>

<p>(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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 <i>bona fide</i> offering thereof.</p>

<p>(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</blockquote></p>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws provide that the Registrant shall, subject to certain limitations, indemnify its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to have been unlawful.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting a director's liability to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty. The enabling statute provides, however, that 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, and 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 Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted, director liability for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty.
The Registrant has purchased directors and officers liability insurance, which provides coverage against liabilities. In addition, some of the Registrant's directors are indemnified against liabilities that they may incur in their capacities as directors by third parties with which they are affiliated.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

(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:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii)	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;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.
(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 Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
