Explanation of Responses:
1. This option was amended in the merger of Edge Acquisition Corporation with and into the issuer, with the issuer as the surviving corporation, pursuant to the merger agreement dated January 28, 2007 among Edge Acquisition LLC, Edge Acquisition Corporation and the issuer.

The amended option is for 0.3665586 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $680,525.14 per share. All other terms of the option remain unchanged. The option was originally granted on July 1, 2003 and provides for vesting as to 1/48 of the options at the end of each full month after the date of grant.
