(1)
Represents
Common Shares which have become available for issuance under the Registrant's 1999 Option Plan as a result of an "ever-green" provision in the plan which
provides for an automatic annual increase on June 30th. On June 30, 2001, 2,000,000 shares were added to the shares reserved for issuance under the 1999 Option Plan.
(2)
The
Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share has been estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933 as to the 2,000,000 Common Shares authorized
for issuance pursuant to the 1999 Option Plan, and the 2,000,000 shares authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2001 Supplemental Stock Option 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 Shares as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market on July 6, 2001 because the price at which the options to be granted in the future may be exercised is not currently determinable.
(3)
Represents
Common Shares which have become available for issuance under the Registrant's 1999 Employee Share Purchase Plan as a result of an "ever-green" provision in
the plan which provides for an automatic annual increase on June 30th. For fiscal year 2001, on June 30, 2001, 200,000 shares were added to the shares reserved for issuance under the
Plan.
(4)
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. The computation is based upon 85% (see explanation in following sentence) of the average of the high and low price of the Common Shares as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on
July 6, 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 Share Purchase Plan, the purchase
price of Common Share shall mean an amount equal to 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the Enrollment Date or the Exercise Date, whichever is lower.
(5)
Represents
Common Shares which have become available for issuance under the Registrant's 2001 Supplemental Stock Option Plan as a result of a resolution of the Board of Directors on
May 17, 2001. On May 17, 2001 the Board increased the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares.
