     (e) None of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any
of their directors, executive officers, general partners or members has, during 
the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or

(f) Mr. Loeb is a United States citizen.                              

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other                                     
Consideration.                                                  

  The Funds expended an aggregate of approximately $36,031,963.94 of their

credit to the Funds as and when required to open or carry positions in the      
margin accounts, subject to applicable Federal margin regulations, stock        
exchange rules and the firm's credit policies. In such instances, the positions 
held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment
of debit balances in the accounts.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.                                                 

The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares by the Funds is for      
investment. The Reporting Persons may cause the Funds to make further           
acquisitions of Common Stock from time to time or to dispose of any or all of   
the shares of Common Stock held by the Funds at any time.                       

   As further detailed in a letter, dated January 13, 2004, from Mr. Loeb as
managing member of the Management Company, to Mr. Steven J. Shulman, the Chief  
Executive Officer of the Company, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 
2, the Reporting Persons are optimistic about the Company's future business     
prospects.                                                                      

   The Reporting Persons are engaged in the investment business. In pursuing
this business, the Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure  
and markets of companies, including the Company, on a continuous basis through  
analysis of documentation and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market
observers and with representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of
management). From time to time, one or more of the Reporting Persons may hold   
discussions with third parties or with management of such companies in which the
Reporting Person may suggest or take a position with respect to potential       
changes in the operations, management or capital structure of such companies as 
a means of enhancing shareholder value. Such suggestions or positions may relate
to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 
4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, such      
matters as disposing of or selling all or a portion of the company or acquiring 
another company or business, changing operating or marketing strategies,        
adopting or not adopting certain types of anti-takeover measures and            
restructuring the company's capitalization or dividend policy.                  

    Except as set forth above, and in the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 2,
the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to 
or would result in any of the actions required to be described in Item 4 of     
Schedule 13D. Each of the Reporting Persons may, at any time, review or         
reconsider its position with respect to the Company and formulate plans or      
proposals with respect to any of such matters, but has no present intention of  
doing so.

   By virtue of the relationships among the Reporting Persons and the Funds,
as described in Item 2, the Reporting Persons and the Funds may be deemed to be 
a "group" under the Federal securities laws. Except as otherwise set forth in   
this Schedule 13D, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial         
ownership of any of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any other  
Reporting Person or the Funds and the filing of this Statement shall not be     
construed as an admission, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) or under
any provision of the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder or for any
other purpose, that any Reporting Person is a beneficial owner of any such      
shares.                                                                         

Except as set forth herein, there are no contracts, arrangements,     
understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 or between    
such persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company.
