James Tozer, Jr., FBO W. James Tozer, Jr. IRA Delaware Charter Guarantee & Trust Co. Trustee, Richard D. Field, Theodore W. Kheel, Keith B. Hall, Prudential Securities C/F Keith B. Hall – IRA Rollover, Keith B. and Ann M. Hall, GE Capital Residential Connections Corporation, GE Capital Mortgage Corporation, General Electric Capital Assurance Company, GNA Corporation, GE Financial Assurance Holdings, Inc., General Electric Capital Corporation, General Electric Capital Services, Inc. and General Electric Company; (3) the Schedule 13D filed on May 24, 2002 by the Reporting Persons and (4) the Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed on May 12, 2003 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule 13D.

      This Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

      (a)–(b)(i)    Douglas R. Lebda currently beneficially owns 42.5 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

      All securities of the Company previously owned by Mr. Lebda were converted into securities of InterActiveCorp (“IAC”) (formerly known as USA Interactive), a Delaware corporation (“IAC”), in connection with the merger of Forest Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of IAC, with and into the Company on August 8, 2003 (the “Merger”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 2003, by and among IAC, Merger Sub and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”).

      Immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (but giving effect to the accelerated vesting of stock options resulting from the Merger), Mr. Lebda beneficially owned an aggregate of 2,280,904 shares of Common Stock, consisting of:
