Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) In a Form 3 filed on March 14, 2003, the reporting person reported that, on April 18, 2000, he was granted an employee stock option covering 50,000 shares of common stock, having an exercise price of $8.50 per share (the market price of the stock on April 18, 2000), and vesting (i) 12,500 shares on 4/18/2000 provided the stock price reaches $13, (ii) 12,500 on 4/18/2001 provided the stock price reaches $15, (iii) 12,500 on 4/18/2002 provided the stock price reaches $17 and (iv) 12,500 on 4/18/2003 provided the stock price reaches $20.
(2) It was recently determined that the actual date of grant of that option was April 27, 2000, when the market price of the Company's common stock was $8.87 per share. To avoid adverse tax consequences resulting from vesting of a "discounted option" after December 31, 2004, the reporting person and the Company agreed to amend the option to provide that, with respect to the portion of the option vesting after December 31, 2004 (representing 25,000 shares), the option will have an exercise price of $8.87 per share. The amendment is reported in this Form 4 as a cancellation of a portion of the original option and the grant of a replacement option. In connection with the amendment, the reporting person became entitled to receive, on January 4, 2008, a cash payment of $9,250, which is the amount of the increase in the aggregate exercise price of the option. The original option remains exercisable for 25,000 shares at the original exercise price of $8.50 per share.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
