(1)	(1) The 1,055,477 shares of Common Stock held by Dorvin Partners, L.P., a family limited partnership, were transferred by the partnership to its limited partners upon the full liquidation of the partnership. Mr. Rego had no pecuniary interest in the shares of Common Stock held by Dorvin Partners, L.P. and previously reported beneficial ownership of such shares by reason of his sole power (as trustee of the trust that served as the sole general partner of Dorvin Partners, L.P.) to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock held by the family limited partnership.
(2)	(2) In connection with settling the estate of the late Dorothy T. Rego, the spouse of Vincent A. Rego, 192,814 shares of Common Stock, which represented Mrs. Rego's community interest in the 385,627 shares of Common Stock owned beneficially by Mr. Rego, were transferred pursuant to Mrs. Rego's will to the Marital Trust under the Rego Family Trust Agreement. Mr. Rego no longer has or shares investment control with respect to the 192,814 shares of Common Stock transferred to the Marital Trust. After giving effect to this transfer, Mr. Rego continues to have direct beneficial ownership of 192,813 shares of Common Stock.
