            This  Registration  Statement  registers  the  additional  3,000,000
shares of the same class of Common Stock  authorized for issuance under the Plan
and the additional  300,000 shares of the same class of Common Stock  authorized

Common Stock  authorized for issuance under the Directors Plan. On June 9, 2000,

shares of Common  Stock  available  for  issuance  under the  Directors  Plan is
700,000.

            This  Registration  Statement  registers  the  additional  3,000,000
shares of the same class of Common Stock  authorized for issuance under the Plan
and the additional  300,000 shares of the same class of Common Stock  authorized
