Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  The two reported transactions involved the amendment of an outstanding option, resulting in the deemed cancellation of the "old" option and the grant of a replacement option. The option was originally granted on July 24, 2006 and provided for vesting on July 24, 2010. The exercise price was not amended or adjusted since the original grant date
( 2)  The option as originally granted provided for an eight-year term and provided for an option exercise period of three months following termination, so long as the option exercise period did not exceed the original eight-year term. The termination date for the reporting person is November 30, 2008.
( 3)  The reported transactions involved the amendment of an outstanding option, resulting in the deemed cancellation of the "old" option and the grant of a replacement option. The option was originally granted on January 29, 2007 and provided that 1/3 of the total 12,500 option shares granted would vest on the first three anniversaries of the January 29, 2007 grant date. Immediately prior to the amendment of the outstanding option, 4,167 shares were vested and unexercised. The exercise price was not amended or adjusted since the original grant date
