Since the StockBuilder Plan continues with no maximum number of shares
and no termination date, the number of shares being registered is an
estimate of the number of shares to be purchased under the StockBuilder
Plan through December 31, 2005. This Registration Statement shall also
cover any additional shares of Common Stock which become issuable under
the StockBuilder Plan, by reason of any stock
1
dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction
effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase
in the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.
(2)
Estimated solely for the purpose of computing the registration fee.
Pursuant to Rule 457(h), the calculation of the registration fee is based
on the average of the high and low sales prices of the Registrant's Common
Stock on December 6, 2002, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
