AMENDMENT OF PRIOR REGISTRATION STATEMENT
The Registrant's initial Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the Commission on February 13, 1996 and effective as of March 3, 1996 (File No. 333-00909) is hereby amended to provide that up to 50,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock previously authorized for issuance under the Registrant's 1993 Stock Option Plan may now be issued under the Registrant's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, provided such shares (a) were not issued or subject to outstanding options under the 1993 Stock Option Plan as of July 19, 2001, the date the Registrant's Board of Directors approved the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, or (b) are shares subject to outstanding options as of July 19, 2001 that subsequently cease to be subject to such options (other than by reason of exercise of the options). No additional stock options will be granted under the Registrant's 1993 Stock Option Plan but all outstanding options granted under that plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the Registrant's 1993 Stock Option Plan and the original Form S-8 Registration Statement for that plan. A Form S-8 Registration Statement for an additional 275,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock available for issuance under the Registrant's 2001 Stock Incentive Plan will be filed with the Commission.
The contents of the original Form S-8 Registration Statement referred to above are incorporated by reference into this Amendment No. 1 to such Registration Statement, except as described herein. Required consents and signatures are included in this amendment.
