(1)   Together with an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be necessary to adjust the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the registrant’s Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), as the result of any future stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment to the registrant’s outstanding Common Stock.
 
(2)   Represents additional shares of Common Stock which are available for issuance under the Plan as a result of the automatic “evergreen” provision described in such Plan.
 
(3)   Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), based upon the average of the high and low sales price of the Common Stock on June 4, 2004 as reported on the Nasdaq National Market.
 
(4)   The registrant previously paid fees totaling $2,771.70 to register shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan in connection with a registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 20, 2002 (File No. 333-90848), which incorporated by reference the registrant’s registration statements on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on October 20, 1999 (File No. 333-89333) and September 26, 2001 (File No. 333-70210; together with the aforementioned S-8s, the “2002 S-8”). Subsequently, on March 31, 2004, the registrant filed with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the 2002 S-8 to deregister 1,618,015 shares of Common Stock subject thereto that were reserved for issuance under the registrant’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-114104) to register 1,478,725 additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan (the “2004 S-8”). Thus, pursuant to Rule 457(b) under the Securities Act, the remainder of the filing fee of $2,771.70 previously paid by the registrant in connection with the 2002 S-8, net of the $177.99 previously paid by the registrant in connection with the 2004 S-8 (for a net balance of $2,593.71), may be applied to the total filing fee of $174.85 for this Registration Statement. As a result, no filing fee is due in connection with this filing.

STATEMENT UNDER GENERAL INSTRUCTION E –

REGISTRATION OF

ADDITIONAL SECURITIES AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

     This Registration Statement registers 1,500,000 additional shares of the registrant’s Common Stock authorized for issuance under the registrant’s Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, as amended, as a result of the operation of the “evergreen” provision contained therein. Accordingly, the contents of the previous Registration Statements on Form S-8 (File No. 333-89333, File No. 333-70210, File No. 333-90848 and File No. 333-114104), including any amendments thereto or filings incorporated therein, are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, including periodic reports that the registrant filed after such Registration Statements on Form S-8 were filed to maintain current information about the registrant. The reports the registrant has most recently filed are listed below:

(a) The registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 30, 2004, including portions of the registrant’s definitive Proxy Statement for the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders incorporated therein by reference; and

(b) The registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Commission on May 14, 2004.

     All documents filed by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 after the date hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that the securities offered hereby have been sold, or which deregisters the securities covered hereby then remaining unsold, shall also be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof commencing on the respective dates on which such documents are filed.

     Any statement contained in a document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference herein or contained in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be modified or superceded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained therein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is, or is deemed to be, incorporated by reference herein modifies or supercedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superceded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superceded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
