*	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 connection with the merger of Clothesline Acquisition Corporation with and into the Issuer, shares of the Issuer's common stock were converted into the right to receive $22.00 per share, without interest.
(2)	This option provided for vesting in four equal annual installments beginning September 3, 2003.
(3)	This option provided for vesting in four equal annual installments beginning August 27, 2004.
(4)	The above options were tendered by the Reporting Person to the Issuer in connection with the Offer to Purchase for Cash All Outstanding Options to Purchase Shares of Common Stock with an Exercise Price of Less than $22.00 per Share (such Offer, an exhibit to the Schedule TO initially filed by the Issuer with the Commission on July 3, 2008), which Offer expired on August 4, 2008. All tendered options were cancelled and the Issuer paid to the Reporting Person with respect to each separate option grant a cash amount, without interest and less any applicable tax withholdings, of the "spread value" of such option grant, which is the product of (a) the excess of $22.00 over the per share exercise price of such option multiplied by (b) the aggregate number of shares of the Issuer's common stock issuable upon exercise of such option.
(5)	These options were tendered by the Reporting Person to the Issuer in connection with the Offer to Purchase for Cash Up To 91,463 Shares of Common Stock with an Exercise Price of Greater than $22.00 per Share (such Offer, an exhibit to the Schedule TO initially filed by the Issuer with the Commission on July 3, 2008), which Offer expired on August 4, 2008. All tendered options were cancelled and the Issuer paid to the Reporting Person with respect to the option grant a cash amount, without interest and less any applicable tax withholdings, for each "out-of-the-money" option, $0.82 multiplied by the number of shares of the Issuer's common stock issuable upon exercise of such option.
