Explanation of Responses:
(1)  This option is fully vested at time of grant.
(2)  The option award was issued to the Reporting P erson, who elected to take equity awards in lieu of cash compensation for services as a director, pursuant to the Issuer's nonemployee director compensation plan. The number of options granted was determined by dividing the cash compensation otherwise payable with respect to the quarter by the Black-Scholes value of a single option calculated as of the date of the grant.
