     The number of outstanding shares of the registrant's Common Stock on
February 28, 2001 was 31,215,000. The aggregate market value of such shares held
by non-affiliates of the Registrant (based upon the closing sale price of such
shares on the NASDAQ National Market on February 28, 2001) was approximately
$138,022,000. Shares of the Registrant's common stock held by each executive
officer and director and by each entity that owns 5% or more of the Registrants
outstanding common stock have been excluded in that such persons may be deemed
to be affiliates. This determination of affiliate status is not necessarily a
conclusive determination for other purposes.

     Portions of the definitive Proxy Statement to be delivered to stockholders
in connection with the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held May 8, 2001 are
