(1)      FEE.  As allowed by rule  457(h)(1),  the fee is based on the  weighted
         average exercise price (approx. $5.70) of the stock options outstanding
         at the filing  date,  for 30,000  shares of common  stock  issuable  on
         exercise of the now  outstanding  options,  all held by non-  executive
         directors,  and the  fee  rate of $250  per  $1,000,000  of  securities
         registered  (underlying shares).  BREAKDOWN OF SHARES REGISTERED.  This
         registration  statement  covers the 300,000 shares issuable on exercise
         of  nonqualified  options  issuable  under  the Stock  Option  Plan for
         Non-Executive  Directors.  30,000  options  are now  outstanding,  none
         exercised  at  filing  date.  The  registrant's  Form S-8  registration
         statement  filed in 2000 covered 10,000 shares of common stock issuable
         on exercise of a  nonqualified  option  issued in 2000 to Thomas Glaza,
         which option,  and underlying shares, are now covered in replacement by
         the Stock Option Plan for  Non-Executive  Directors filed as an exhibit
         to this registration  statement,  and by this  registration  statement,
         respectively.

         ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act");


                                        4





                  (ii) To reflect in the  prospectus any facts or events arising
after the  effective  date of the  registration  statement  (or the most  recent
post-effective  amendment  thereto)  which,  individually  or in the  aggregate,
represent a fundamental  change in the information set forth in the registration
statement;

                  (iii) To include any material  information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously  disclosed in the registration  statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement.

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining  any liability  under the Act,
each such  post-effective  amendment  shall be  deemed to be a new  registration
statement relating to the securities  offered therein,  and the offering of such
securities  at that time shall be deemed to be the  initial  bona fide  offering
thereof.

         (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the Stock Option Plan for Non- Executive  Directors and/or the expiration of any
nonqualified  stock  options  where the  underlying  common stock is  registered
hereby.

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act  of  1933,  as  amended,  may  be  permitted  to  directors,  officers,  and
controlling  persons of the Company  pursuant to the  foregoing  provisions,  or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  such  indemnification  is  against  public  policy as
expressed in the  Securities  Act and is therefore  unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim  for  indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than the
payment by the registrant of expenses  incurred or paid by a director,  officer,
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit, or  proceeding)  is asserted by such  director,  officer,  or  controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered,  the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by  controlling
precedent,  submit to a court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the question whether
such  indemnification  by it is  against  public  policy  as  expressed  in  the
Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended,  and  will  be  governed  by  the  final
adjudication of such issue.

         The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that:

         (1) For purposes of determining  any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, the  information  omitted from the form of prospectus  filed as part of
this  registration  statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
of  prospectus  filed by the  registrant  pursuant to Rule  424(b)(1)  or (4) or
497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this  registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective.

         (2) For the purpose of determining  any liability  under the Securities
Act of 1933,  each  post-effective  amendment that contains a form of prospectus
shall be deemed to be a new  registration  statement  relating to the securities
offered  therein,  and the  offering  of such  securities  at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that
