Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )The reported transactions involve an amendment of an outstanding option, resulting in the deemed cancellation of the "old" option and the deemed grant of a replacement option. The option, which was originally scheduled to vest in 25% installments commencing on the anniversary of the date of grant, became 100% vested as of May 30, 2006 as a result of the Company's decision to accelerate the vesting of all of its outstanding options at that time. Also, the option was scheduled to expire as a result of Ms. Winston's planned termination of employment on July 21, 2007, but pursuant to action by the Company, this expiration date was extended until December 31, 2007.
