CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

* The transaction valuation is estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 0-11").

** The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 by multiplying the estimated Transaction Valuation by one-fiftieth of one percent of the estimated value of the transaction.
