<TD>Pursuant to Rule 416 promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), this registration
statement is deemed to include additional shares of the Registrant's

<TD>The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Common Stock Share is calculated, in
part, pursuant to Rule&nbsp;457(h) under the act, and as such, is based upon the
exercise prices of each outstanding common stock under the 1995 Stock Plan (&#147;95
Stock Plan&#148;). With respect to those shares available for future grant under the
95 Stock Plan, the offering price per common stock share is calculated pursuant
to Rule&nbsp;457(c), and as such, is determined to be the average between the high
and low of the Registrant&#146;s Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market
as of March&nbsp;19, 2002, or $11.04.</TD>

<TD>Amount of Registration Fee was calculated pursuant to Section&nbsp;6(b) of the
Securities Act of 1933, which states that the fee shall be &#147;$92 per $1
million&#148; of the maximum aggregate price at which such securities are proposed
to be offered. The Registration Fee is therefore calculated by multiplying the
aggregate offering or sales amount by 0.000092.</TD>

<P><FONT size="2">Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#147;DGCL&#148;), which
enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or
an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or
limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for
violations of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty, except (1)&nbsp;for
any breach of a director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3)&nbsp;pursuant to Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL, providing for
liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases or redemption, or (4)&nbsp;for any transaction from
which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
</FONT>

<P>
<FONT size="2">Reference is also made to Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL
which provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons,
including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be
made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason
of the fact that the person was an officer, director, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses,
including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with the action, suit or proceeding, provided the officer,
director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s
best interests and, for a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or
in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except
that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the
officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise
in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees,
which the officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">The Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Registrant and the Bylaws of the Registrant
provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
</FONT>

<P><FONT size="2">In addition, the Registrant has also entered into
employment agreements with its officers and directors which provide
for their indemnification with respect to certain matters. The
Registrant has purchased directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability
insurance for all its directors and executive officers.

that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.</FONT></TD>

1).
Pursuant to Rule 416 promulgated under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration
statement is deemed to include additional shares of the Registrant's
Common Stock to be offered or issued pursuant to the antidilution
provisions of each of the plans listed above.
2).
The Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Common Stock Share is calculated, in
part, pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the act, and as such, is based upon the
exercise prices of each outstanding common stock under the 1995 Stock Plan ("95
Stock Plan"). With respect to those shares available for future grant under the
95 Stock Plan, the offering price per common stock share is calculated pursuant
to Rule 457(c), and as such, is determined to be the average between the high
and low of the Registrant's Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market
as of March 19, 2002, or $11.04.
3).
Amount of Registration Fee was calculated pursuant to Section 6(b) of the
Securities Act of 1933, which states that the fee shall be "$92 per $1
million" of the maximum aggregate price at which such securities are proposed
to be offered. The Registration Fee is therefore calculated by multiplying the
aggregate offering or sales amount by 0.000092.

Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating
such description.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this registration statement and
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered have been sold or which de-registers all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
registration statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing such
documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be
modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other
subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such
statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of
this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the
Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), which
enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or
an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or
limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for
violations of the director's fiduciary duty, except (1) for
any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(3) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, providing for
liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases or redemption, or (4) for any transaction from
which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
Reference is also made to Section 145 of the DGCL
which provides that a corporation may indemnify any persons,
including officers and directors, who are, or are threatened to be
made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason
of the fact that the person was an officer, director, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with the action, suit or proceeding, provided the officer,
director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's
best interests and, for a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. A Delaware
corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or
in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except
that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the
officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise
in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must
indemnify him against the expenses, including attorneys' fees,
which the officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Registrant and the Bylaws of the Registrant
provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
In addition, the Registrant has also entered into
employment agreements with its officers and directors which provide
for their indemnification with respect to certain matters. The
Registrant has purchased directors' and officers' liability
insurance for all its directors and executive officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.
a.
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 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
Securities 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 offering.
b.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
c.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the Registrant's Bylaws,
indemnification agreements, 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
