*                 Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the Amount of Filing Fee.  The calculation of the Transaction Valuation assumes that all options to purchase shares of the issuer’s common stock that may be eligible for exchange in the offer will be tendered pursuant to the offer.  These options cover an aggregate of 470,988 shares of the issuer’s common stock and have an aggregate value of $4,610,434 as of May 17, 2010, calculated based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

**          The Amount of Filing Fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, equals $71.30 per $1,000,000 of the aggregate amount of the Transaction Valuation.  The transaction Valuation set forth above was calculated for the sole purpose of determining the Amount of Filing Fee and should not be used for any other purpose.
