        <footnote id="F1">Consists of shares of restricted stock granted under the Company's 2003 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Incentive Plan, which
 vest to the extent of one-third on May 18, 2007 and cumulatively vest to the extent of one-third each year thereafter,
 subject to certain provisions of the Plan.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This option becomes exercisable to the extent of one-third on the above date and is cumulatively exercisable to the extent of
 one-third each year thereafter.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This corrected amount in Table II is applicable to all Forms 4 previously filed by the reporting person.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>This Amended Form 4 is being filed to further clarify the grants of restricted stock made to the reporting person on
 05/18/06.  On such date, the reporting person received a total of 12,877 shares of restricted stock, consisting of (i) an
 automatic annual grant of 8,500 shares of restricted stock and (ii) 4,377 shares of restricted stock which the reporting
 person elected to receive in lieu of the annual director fee payable to the reporting person.  This Amended Form 4 also
 amends columns 7 and 9 in Table II to correct the amount of shares underlying the options and the number of derivative
 securities beneficially owned by the reporting person.</remarks>
