The shares were also omitted from all Form 4s filed on behalf of the reporting person prior to the filing of this amendment.  The number of shares and the exercise prices reported in this amendment have been adjusted to reflect a 3-for-1 stock split of the Company's Common Shares that occurred in April of 2002.</footnote>
