Amount or Number of Shares

Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	This transaction represents shares of restricted stock that were automatically surrendered to the issuer upon vesting. The surrendered shares were used to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
( 2)	This line is being used to amend the total Amount of Securities Benefically Owned Following the Reported Transaction reported on the reporting person's Form 4 filed on November 21, 2003. The total reported on November 21, 2003 inadvertantly failed to report 18,000 shares acquired by the reporting person earlier in 2003 and reported on a Form 4 filed on February 7, 2003. As of November 21, 2003, the reporting person directly owned 61,513 shares of common stock.
