        <footnote id="F1">This option grant is fully vested.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The transaction date of the original option grant was March 18, 1999. On March 21, 2002, the option was re-priced and re-granted with a new expiration date of March 21, 2009.  When this re-grant was reported on April 8, 2002, the Reporting Person's Form 4 filed on that date and subsequently filed Form 4s reflected an inaccurate expiration date.  This amendment is being filed solely to correct the expiration date to March 21, 2009.</footnote>
