Explanation of Responses:

1. Options to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock were exercised by delivery of 39,888 shares of common stock owned by the Reporting Person. Upon exercise, the Reporting Person was granted restoration options to purchase 39,888 shares of common stock under the Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Option and Performance Incentive Plan (the "Restoration Options"). The Restoration Options vest as follows: 19,944 Restoration Options vest on the second anniversary of the grant date of the original option and 19,944 Restoration Options vest on the third anniversary of the grant date of the original option, but the Reporting Person may exercise the Restoration Options after six months from the grant date of the Restoration Option, with the underlying shares being deposited into a non-discretionary account on behalf of the Reporting Person. These Restoration Options are subject to forfeiture under certain conditions. As a condition of granting the Restoration Option, 20,112 shares of common stock, representing the difference between the amount of options exercised (60,000) less the amount of shares of common stock delivered as payment for the exercise price (39,888), were placed into a non-discretionary account established by the Issuer for a minimum of two years from the transaction date. In addition, 10,056 of these shares vest on the second anniversary of the grant date of the original option and 10,056 of these shares vest on the third anniversary of the grant date of the original option.
