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 of shares reserved for
future issuance under the Registrant's 1997 Stock Plan. The computation is
based on the average of the high and low price of the Registrant's Common
Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on February 25, 2003
because the price at which the options to be granted in the future may be
exercised is not currently determinable.

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 of shares reserved for
future issuance under the Registrant's 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
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 February 25, 2003, 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.
