         in accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h)(1) of the Securities Act of
         1933, based on the average of the high and low prices of the Common
         Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market on June 21, 2004.
(3)      Each share of Common Stock to be registered includes one associated

         Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2003, as amended.
