Calculation of Filing Fee

 

Transaction Valuation (1)


 

Amount of Filing Fee (2)


$113,907,372   $13,406.90

 

(1) Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee.

 

This determination assumes that all options eligible for amendment and acceleration pursuant to this offer will be so amended and accelerated pursuant to this offer. Calculation of the filing fee under the method described in Rule 0-11(a)(4) for securities without a market would result in the proposed transaction value being calculated based on the book value of the options, which is nil. Therefore, the Offeror has calculated the filing fee based upon the average of the high and low

 

1


prices reported in the consolidated reporting system as of a specified date within 5 business days prior to the date of the filing, pursuant to Rule 0-11(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of all of the underlying Common Stock.

 

The Offeror estimates that the value of the maximum number of options acquired pursuant to this offer is equal to the value of an equal number of shares of Common Stock of the Offeror at that average of the high and low for the day.

 

(2) The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, equals the transaction value multiplied by $117.70 per each U.S. $1.0 million of the value of the transaction. The transaction value ($113,907,372) was calculated by multiplying the total number of options eligible for amendment and acceleration pursuant to this offer (5,133,275) by the average, which was $22.19 per share, of the high ($22.46) and low ($21.92) sales prices of the Common Stock of the Offeror as reported by Nasdaq on August 11, 2005.

 

x Check box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.
