Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )The Company repurchased these shares to enable the reporting person to make required tax payments resulting from the vesting of 1,250 shares of restricted stock previously granted under the Company's Stock Incentive Compensation Plan. Until such time as the Company becomes compliant with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, on the applicable vesting date of awards granted to the reporting person on July 2, 2007, the Company will automatically repurchase 40% of the shares vesting at the market price of the shares on such date (or the most recent trading date) pursuant to a repurchase program established by the Company's Board of Directors, in order to provide the reporting person with cash to make required tax payments arising from such vesting.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
