*	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)	The option may be exercised for the first time on the earlier of the Put Date or January 1, 2008, (as applicable, the "First Exercise Date") provided optionee has remained in continuous service from the Grant Date through the First Exercise Date. On the First Exercise Date, the option becomes exercisable and vested as to that number of shares subject to the option equal to 1/48 times the number of months that have elapsed from the Grant Date through the First Exercise Date. Thereafter, the option becomes exercisable and vested for an additional 1/48 of the shares subject to the option when optionee completes each month of continuous service following the First Exercise Date. The option shall be fully vested and exercisable on the 4-year anniversary of the Grant Date provided optionee remains in continuous service through such date. "Put Date" shall mean the day after the final day of the Put Period, as such term is defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Issuer.
Remarks: The option grant was approved by the compensation committee of Issuer's board of directors on February 14, 2007, subject to stockholder approval of a share increase to the stock option plan under which the option was granted. Issuer's stockholders approved the increase on April 25, 2007.
