( 2)  Includes shares underlying a restricted stock unit award granted on March 24, 2005 for a total of 500,000 units. Each unit will entitle the Reporting Person to one share of the Issuer's common stock upon vesting. 25% of the units vested on February 15, 2006, and the balance vests in 3 equal annual installments thereafter, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service with the Issuer. 125,000 shares remain unissued under that award.
( 3)  Includes shares underlying a restricted stock unit award granted on February 13, 2007 for a total of 250,000 units. Each unit will entitle the Reporting Person to one share of the Issuer's common stock upon vesting. 33-1/3% of the units vested on February 15, 2008, and the balance vests in 2 equal annual installments thereafter, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service with the Issuer. 166,667 shares remain unissued under that award.
( 4)  Includes shares underlying a restricted stock unit award granted on April 3, 2007 for a total of 750,000 units. Each unit will entitle the Reporting Person to one share of the Issuer's common stock upon vesting.

( 5)  Includes shares underlying a restricted stock unit award granted on March 14, 2008 for a total of 600,000 units. Each unit will entitle the Reporting Person to one share of the Issuer's common stock upon vesting. 200,000 units will vest upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service through February 28, 2011. The remaining units will vest depending on the Company's highest 30-day volume-weighted average closing price for any consecutive 30-days between December 1, 2010 and February 28, 2011. However, if beginning July 1, 2009, the Company's closing share price remains at a certain threshold for at least six months, all 600,000 units will vest on the last day of the 6-month period.
