Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  The reporting person renounced his/her right to receive shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units due to the low price of the shares and the fact that broker commissions and related fees exceeded the value of the shares.
( 2)  The RSUs renounced this date consisted of RSUs awarded to the reporting person representing the portion of his/her Management Incentive Plan award for 2006, plus Company premium RSUs equal to 20% of the amount of the reporting person's RSUs, and RSUs awarded in 2007 under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan, all of which were to convert to shares of the Company's Common Stock after three years.
