        <footnote id="F1">The reported transactions were an amendment of an outstanding option in response to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, resulting in the Issuer taking the position that a portion of the &quot;old&quot; option was replaced by a new option.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The option was originally granted on 9/21/01 and vested at the rate of 12% of the shares upon expiration of six (6) months after the Vesting Commencement Date (9/21/01) and 2% of the shares at the end of each month thereafter. As of the Transaction Date, such option was 100% vested.</footnote>
