(1)  The 2000 Stock Plan replaced the 1991 Stock Plan. The unissued shares under
     the  1991  Stock Plan are no longer issuable under the 1991 Stock Plan, and
     are now issuable under the 2000 Stock Plan; an increase of 1,000,000 shares
     is  added  to  the  2000  Stock  Plan for future grants, and such 1,000,000
     additional  shares  are  covered  by  this  Registration  Statement.

(2)  The  Proposed  Maximum  Offering  Price  Per  Share  has  been estimated in
     accordance  with  Rule  457(h)  under  the Securities Act of 1933 as to the
     1,000,000  shares  of  Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the
     2000  Stock  Plan,  solely  for the purpose of calculating the registration
     fee.  No  options  have  been  granted  with  respect  to  such shares. The
     computation  is  based  upon  the  average of the high and low price of the
     Common  Stock  as  reported  on the Nasdaq National Market on September 12,
     2002 because the price at which the options to be granted in the future may
     be  exercised  is  not  currently  determinable.

(3)  The  Proposed  Maximum  Offering  Price  Per  Share  has  been estimated in
     accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 solely for the
     purpose  of calculating the registration fee. The computation is based upon
     85%  (see explanation in following sentence) of the average of the high and
     low  price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on
     September  12, 2002 because the price at which the options to be granted in
     the  future may be exercised is not currently determinable. Pursuant to the
     Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan,  which  plan  is incorporated by reference
     herein,  the Purchase Price of a share of Common Stock shall mean an amount
     equal  to  85%  of  the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the
     Enrollment  Date  or  the  Exercise  Date,  whichever  is  lower.
