Explanation of Responses:
1. Grant of restricted shares subject to vesting over a three-year period based upon satisfaction of certain performance criteria for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010. No more than one third of such shares may vest in the first performance period; however, the performance criteria are cumulative for the three-year period and are subject to accelerated vesting upon certain events (death, disability or certain "change in control" events).
2. Amounts in Column 5 of Table I include 8,329 shares beneficially owned through the company's 401(k) plan as updated to reflect the most recent plan statement.
3. Grant of options to purchase up to the number of shares listed, with vesting to occur in equal increments over a three-year period on the anniversary dates of the grant.
