        <footnote id="F1">On November 3, 2003, the Unity Trust, of which the reporting person and his spouse are joint and sole trustees and beneficiaries (the &quot;Trust&quot;) entered into a Forward Purchase Contract (the &quot;Contract&quot;) with an unrelated third party (&quot;Buyer&quot;) relating to 500,000 shares of Common Stock (the &quot;Contract Amount&quot;).  The Contract will be settled on February 2, 2007 (the &quot;Settlement Date&quot;).  The Contract specifies a &quot;Threshold Price&quot; of $24.7075 per share and a &quot;Floor Price&quot; of $17.6482 per share.  On the Settlement Date, the Trust, unless it has elected cash settlement as described in the following sentence, will deliver shares of Common Stock to Buyer as follows:  (i) if the &quot;Settlement Value&quot; (a market-based price as determined under the terms of the Transaction) for such settlement date is less than or equal to the Floor Price, the Trust will deliver the Contract Amount (500,000 shares);   (continued in Footnote 2)</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">(ii) if the Settlement Value is greater than the Floor Price but less than or equal to the Threshold Price, the Trust will deliver a number of shares equal to the product of the Contract Amount and a fraction whose numerator is the Floor Price and whose denominator is the Settlement Value; and (iii) if the Settlement Value is greater than the Threshold Price, the Trust will deliver a number of shares equal to the Contract Amount less the product of the Contract Amount and a fraction whose numerator is the Threshold Price minus the Floor Price and whose denominator is the Settlement Value.  In lieu of delivering shares, the Trust may elect cash settlement.  (continued in Footnote 3)</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The Contract provides that if the Settlement Value is greater than the Floor Price, the Trust will pay a &quot;physical settlement fee&quot; of the product of $0.06 times the number of shares delivered divided by the Settlement Value.  Pursuant to the Contract, the Trust received $7,412,250.00 from the Buyer representing the purchase price of the shares subject to the Contract before expenses and fees.</footnote>
