Dear

By
now,
you should have received our proxy statement and accompanying proxy card
relating to our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 14, 2006.
After filing our proxy statement but prior to mailing it, we determined that,
for the convenience of our stockholders, in addition to permitting voting by
mail and in person we would also permit our stockholders to vote on the matters
to come before the Annual Meeting via telephone and the Internet. The proxy
card
as mailed to you already reflects these new voting methods. This letter is
to
provide you the procedures for voting via telephone and the
Internet.
The
following information should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement,
and you should consider the proxy statement to be amended to the extent set
forth in this communication. You may revoke your proxy in the manner described
on page 2 of the proxy statement.
To
vote by telephone:
| (1) |
Have
your proxy card available;
|
| (2) |
Using
a touch-tone phone, call toll-free
1-888-693-8683;
|
| (3) |
Follow
the recorded instructions; and
|
| (4) |
Do
not mail your proxy card.
