(2) Vests and becomes exercisable in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
(3) Fully Vested
(4) Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Employment Agreement, dated November 29, 2006, between the reporting person and the issuer, the reporting person is entitled to receive a grant of options to purchase 200,000 shares of the issuer's common stock on the first business day of each year. On January 2, 2008 there was an insufficient number of shares remaining available for grant under the issuer's stock option plan to issue the full number of options that the reporting person was entitled to receive on such date. As a result of such shortfall the reporting person was issued options to purchase 130,000 shares. Due to certain option cancellations after January 2, 2008 additional shares became available for grant under the stock option plan and the balance of the 70,000 was issued to the reporting person on February 12, 2008.

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