Explanation of Responses:

1. The number of shares gives effect to the anticipated 1-for 4.658 reverse stock split to be undertaken in connection with the Issuer's pending initial public offering.

2. Acquired by the Reporting Person's spouse.

3. The exercise price and number of shares gives effect to the anticipated 1-for 4.658 reverse stock split to be undertaken in connection with the Issuer's pending initial public offering.

4. 2,147 of these options are exercisable on each of September 10, 2005 and 2006.

5. 20% of these options became exercisable on each of September 10, 2002, 2003 and 2004 and an additional 20% become exercisable on each of September 10, 2005 and 2006. The number of shares underlying these options, which are referred to as "Tranche A Options", and the exercise price of these Tranche A Options give effect to the anticipated reverse stock split to be undertaken in connection with the Issuer's pending initial public offering. In addition, the Reporting Person has elected to have these options modified upon the completion of the Issuer's pending initial public offering to provide that each option to purchase one share of common stock for $30.28 per share would become an option to purchase approximately 0.926 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price of $25.00. The modified options will expire seven years after the consummation of the initial public offering.

Remarks:

Table II does not include 60,000 shares of the Issuer's Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person held by the Reporting Person's spouse. Upon the closing of the Issuer's pending initial public offering, these shares of Series A Preferred Stock will convert automatically into approximately 23,585 shares of common stock indirectly owned by the Reporting Person.
