<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;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

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

This
Registration Statement also covers any additional shares of the Registrant's Common Stock that become issuable under the 2000 Stock Plan and the 2001 Director Option Plan
described herein by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the Registrant's receipt of consideration that results in an increase in
the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Computed
in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act as to the 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2000 Stock Plan, solely
for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. No options have been granted with respect to such shares. The computation is based upon the average of the high and low price of the Common Stock
as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on May 22, 2001 because the exercise prices of the options to be granted in the future are not currently determinable.
(3)
Computed

Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on May 22, 2001 because the exercise prices of the options to be granted in the future are not currently determinable.

"Commission") on April 2, 2001.
(b)
The
description of the Registrant's common stock contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A, as filed with the Commission on August 4, 2000
pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

All
documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as amended, subsequent to the filing of this Registration Statement and
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to include in its charter documents, and in agreements between the corporation
and its directors and officers, provisions expanding the scope of indemnification beyond that specifically provided by the current law.
The
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law.
The
Registrant's Bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on behalf of the Registrant if such person acted in good faith and in a manner
reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the indemnified party had no reason to believe his or her
conduct was unlawful.
The
Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These indemnification agreements require the Registrant to indemnify its
directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
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 an initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
