EXPLANATORY NOTE

Amendment No. 3 to the Reporting Person’s Schedule 13D that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 3, 2006 (the “Original Filing”) inadvertently indicated in Item 5(c) that the transactions during the past 60 days were purchases rather than sales. The Reporting Person is re-filing the Amendment No. 3 to correct this error in Item 5(c). All other information in the Original Filing, including the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person and the percent of class was correct as of the close of business on October 3, 2006.
