Explanation of Responses:

1. Option became exercisable to the extent of 20% at June 9, 2001 and became exercisable for an additional 20% on each June 9 thereafter. The option will become fully exercisable on June 9, 2005.

2. Option generally expires ten years from the effective date of grant (the period for exercise may be extended in certain cases following the death of the reporting person). If the reporting person's employment terminates because of death, permanent disability or normal retirement, the option is generally exercisable in full for two years from the date of termination. If the reporting person's employment is terminated for cause (as defined), the option immediately ceases to be exercisable. If the reporting person's employment terminates for any other reason, the option is exercisable for one year after such termination to the extent the option was exercisable at termination.

3. Option was partial consideration to employee for services.

4. Option became exercisable to the extent of 20% at March 9, 2002 and became exercisable for an additional 20% on each March 9 thereafter. The option will become fully exercisable on March 9, 2006.
