                            CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

         Transaction valuation*                      Amount of filing fee*
              $32,764,831                                    $6,553
----------------------------------------- ---- ---------------------------------

*      For the purpose of calculating the filing fee only. This calculation
       assumes the purchase of (i) 2,384,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
       $0.001 per share ("Shares") at a price per Share of $3.95, (ii) 905,000
       Shares which are subject to outstanding options at a price per Share of
       $3.95 less the exercise price of such options, (iii) 8,513 shares of
       Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, 8,435 shares of
       Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 8,435 shares of
       Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, for aggregate
       consideration of $22,500,000. Except for warrants to purchase 975,000
       Shares (which warrants shall at the Effective Time of the Merger become
       the right to receive $3.95 per Share upon payment by the holders of such
       warrants of the exercise price for such warrants), such number of Shares,
       options and preferred shares represent all of the securities of the
