(1) This number represents the shares of common stock which have become
available for issuance under the registrants 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
as a result of shareholder approval of such additional shares at the
Registrant's annual meeting held on May 24, 2001.

(2) Calculated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Act 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 November 1,
2001, because the price at which the options to be granted in the future may be
exercised is not currently determinable. Pursuant to the 1999 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan, 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.

ITEM 3.       INFORMATION INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.

         The following documents and information previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are hereby incorporated by reference:

         (a)   The Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 on
               Form 10-K filed pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the
               Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
               on April 2, 2001.

         (b)   The description of the Preferred Stock Rights Plan of the
               Registrant that is contained in the Registration Statement on
               Form 8-A filed pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act on
               April 20, 2001.

         (c)   The description of the Common Stock of the Registrant that is
               contained in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
               pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act on June 8, 1999 and
               Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
               pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act on June 14, 1999.

         (d)   The Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 on Form
               10-Q filed pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act
               on May 15, 2001.

         (e)   The Quarterly Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 on Form
               10-Q filed pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act
               on August 14, 2001.

         (f)   The Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 on
               Form 10-Q filed pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
               Act on November 8, 2001.

         (g)   All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
               13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing
               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 deregisters all securities then
               remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
               in the Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date
               of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.       DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.       INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.       INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Registrant has adopted provisions in its Certificate of
Incorporation that eliminate the personal liability of its directors and
officers for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duties in
certain circumstances to the fullest extent permitted by law and authorizes the
Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability
of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

         The Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, including circumstances in which indemnification is
otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware provides for the indemnification of officers,
directors and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify
such persons, under certain circumstances, for certain liabilities (including
reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Securities Act"). The


                                      II-1
<Page>

Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements to such effect with its
officers and directors containing provisions which are in some respects broader
than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the General
Corporation Law of Delaware. The indemnification agreements may require the
Company, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors against
certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as
directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of
a culpable nature) and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any
proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

ITEM 7.       EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 8.       EXHIBITS.

         The Exhibits listed on the accompanying Index to Exhibits are filed as
part hereof, or incorporated by reference into, this Registration Statement.
(See Exhibit Index below).

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 of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 an 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 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(1) This number represents the shares of common stock which have become
available for issuance under the registrants 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
as a result of shareholder approval of such additional shares at the
Registrant's annual meeting held on May 24, 2001.

(2) Calculated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Act 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 November 1,
2001, because the price at which the options to be granted in the future may be
exercised is not currently determinable. Pursuant to the 1999 Employee Stock
Purchase Plan, 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.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

ITEM 3.       INFORMATION INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.

         The following documents and information previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission are hereby incorporated by reference:

         (a)   The Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 on
               Form 10-K filed pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the
               Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
               on April 2, 2001.

         (b)   The description of the Preferred Stock Rights Plan of the
               Registrant that is contained in the Registration Statement on
               Form 8-A filed pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act on
               April 20, 2001.

         (c)   The description of the Common Stock of the Registrant that is
               contained in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
               pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act on June 8, 1999 and
               Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed
               pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act on June 14, 1999.

         (d)   The Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 on Form
               10-Q filed pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act
               on May 15, 2001.

         (e)   The Quarterly Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 on Form
               10-Q filed pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act
               on August 14, 2001.

         (f)   The Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 on
               Form 10-Q filed pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange
               Act on November 8, 2001.

         (g)   All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a),
               13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing
               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 deregisters all securities then
               remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference
               in the Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date
               of filing of such documents.

ITEM 4.       DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.       INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.       INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         The Registrant has adopted provisions in its Certificate of
Incorporation that eliminate the personal liability of its directors and
officers for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duties in
certain circumstances to the fullest extent permitted by law and authorizes the
Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
permitted by law. Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability
of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

         The Registrant's Bylaws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General
Corporation Law of Delaware, including circumstances in which indemnification is
otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of Delaware provides for the indemnification of officers,
directors and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify
such persons, under certain circumstances, for certain liabilities (including
reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Securities Act"). The

                                      II-1
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements to such effect with its
officers and directors containing provisions which are in some respects broader
than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the General
Corporation Law of Delaware. The indemnification agreements may require the
Company, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors against
certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as
directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of
a culpable nature) and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any
proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

ITEM 7.       EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 8.       EXHIBITS.

         The Exhibits listed on the accompanying Index to Exhibits are filed as
part hereof, or incorporated by reference into, this Registration Statement.
(See Exhibit Index below).

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 of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 an 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 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 Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-2
