its Board of Directors (the "Board") has extended the expiration date of its
current share repurchase authorization from March 31, 2007 until September 30,
2007, and has increased by 1,158,759 shares the number of shares that can be
repurchased in accordance with the authorization. The increase represents
approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock
as of March 23, 2007. As of March 23, 2007, the Company had repurchased
2,109,274 shares of its common stock out of the 2,446,625 shares that had been

in open market or negotiated transactions, and pursuant to any trading plan that
may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The authorization will be utilized at management's discretion,
subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements, and to price and
other internal limitations established by the Board. The authorization may be
suspended, terminated or modified at any time prior to September 30, 2007 for
any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the
availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other
factors deemed relevant. These factors will also affect the timing and amount of
