        <footnote id="F1">The option grant becomes exercisable in thirds of each of the first three (3) grant anniversaries.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The option grant vests after the third anniversary date and is only exercisable if certain stock price performance requirements are met.  The performance requirements are an increase in the common stock non-voting price of 60% for 1/3 of the options, an increase in the common stock non-voting price of 80% for 1/3 of the options, and an increase in the common stock non-voting price of 100% for 1/3 of the options, in each case within five years of the grant date.  Both the vesting date and performance requirements must be met for the portion of the grant to become exercisable.</footnote>
