Amendments to Selling Stockholder Table

          1. On January 18, 2005, we gave notice to all holders of Series E Preferred Stock that we have elected to convert the shares of Series E Preferred Stock to common stock. The notice of conversion became effective on February 1, 2005, and on that date all 233,250 issued and outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock were converted into an aggregate of 801,306 shares of common stock.

          2. On January 26, 2005, Robert R Clark Jr. and Patricia Venn-Watson exercised warrants for 7,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.25 per share.

As a result of this Company-initiated conversion and the warrant exercises, the information relating to various stockholders and certain footnotes contained in the first table of selling stockholders listed in the prospectus is hereby amended in part as follows:
