Explanation of Responses:

1. These are restricted shares issued under Dean's 1997 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan in payment of fees owed for services as an independent director. All such shares are subject to vesting in three increments, with the first vesting occurring as of the date the shares were issued.

2. The options were granted under a plan assumed with an acquisition and were fully vested and exercisable on the date of the acquisition.

3. The options were automatically granted under the Issuer's 1997 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, and are fully vested and immediately exercisable upon grant.
