Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )The reporting person agreed to an offer to amend outstanding stock options that were initially granted on June 7, 2004 (before the reporting person was subject to Section 16 reporting obligations). Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, which were authorized by the Compensation Committee, the option exercise price increased from $7.78 to $8.37 per share and the reporting person will receive a cash payment equal to $7,080 in January 2009 (an amount which reflects the $0.59 increase in the option exercise price multiplied by the 12,000 options outstanding). All other terms of the stock options, including the vesting schedule, remain the same. For purposes of Section 16 reporting, this amendment is reported as a cancellation of the outstanding stock options and an issuance of new stock options.
