Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(4) requires that director nominees be selected or recommended for the Board's selection either by a majority of the independent directors or by a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors. As previously disclosed in our proxy statement, our director nominees are recommended for the Board's selection by a majority of the independent directors.

Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(4)(B) requires Nasdaq companies to adopt a written charter or board resolution addressing the nominations process. On April 8, 2005, we received a letter from Nasdaq noting that we had not adopted a formal board resolution addressing the nomination process for directors and requesting that we take appropriate action.

We have adopted a formal board resolution addressing the nomination process and affirming the process previously disclosed in our proxy statement. On April 13, 2005 Nasdaq sent us a letter confirming that we are now in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4350(c)(4).
