Explanation of Responses:
1. Options were granted on November 15, 1997, and vested on an annual schedule of 30%, 30% and 40%, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.
2. 200,000 stock options with an exercise price of $4.03 were granted on August 15, 2002. These options vest in two installments of 25% each on the first and second anniversary of the grant date, and in eight subsequent quarterly installments of 6.25% each, commencing on November 15, 2004 and ending on August 15, 2006.
3. Obligation to sell Common Stock.
4. Mr. Ding entered into a pre-paid variable delivery forward transaction with Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited. In exchange for a purchase price of $1,495,000, which will be paid on July 29, 2003, Mr. Ding acquired an obligation to deliver on January 29, 2007, either (i) up to 250,000 shares (the "Base Amount") of Common Stock or, at the option of Mr. Ding, (ii) the cash equivalent of such shares. The exact number of shares of Common Stock that Mr. Ding will be required to deliver will be determined on January 24, 2007 (the "Settlement Date").
5. On the Settlement Date, if the arithmetic mean of the closing bid price and the closing offer price (the "Settlement Price") of the Common Stock is less than or equal to $7.4417 (the "Floor Price"), Mr. Ding shall be obligated to deliver 250,000 shares of Common Stock. If the Settlement Price is greater than the Floor Price but less than $12.4028 (the "Ceiling Price"), Mr. Ding shall be obligated to deliver a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Base Amount and (ii) the quotient of the Floor Price divided by the Settlement Price. If the Settlement Price is greater than or equal to the Ceiling Price, Mr. Ding shall be obligated to deliver a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference of 1 minus the quotient of (i) the difference of the Ceiling Price minus the Floor Price, divided by (ii) the Settlement Price.
6. 5,000 restricted stock units were granted on December 26, 2005 and vest on an annual schedule of 25% each, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. Upon each vesting, one share of common stock shall be issuable for each restricted stock units on such vest date.
