        <footnote id="F1">All transaction takes place under the restrictions of a 10b5-1 plan.  A 10b5-1 plan enables an insider to establish a program to make transactions according to an advance plan.  Such a program allows an insider to continue with planned transactions even if he/she comes into possession of material non-public information.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">At the end of the first year, 25% of total options become exercisable.  In years two, three and four, 6.25% of the total options become exercisable each quarter.</footnote>
