Explanation of Responses:
1. Grant of Restricted Common Stock. Subject to certain conditions, one-third of the shares will vest and be issued on the first anniversary of the grant date, one-third of the shares will vest and be issued on the second anniversary of the grant date, and one-third of the shares will vest and be issued on the third anniversary of the grant date.
2. Includes 5,224 shares of Restricted Common Stock, which is subject to vesting.
3. This option grant becomes vested and exercisable at the rate of one-third on 11/30/2007, one-third on 11/30/2008, and one-third on 11/30/2009.
4. $0.00 is used for technical reasons as there is no price for this derivative security until vested and/or exercised.
5. The reported incentive bonus units will become vested with respect to 25% of the total number of incentive bonus units granted on May 15 of each of the calendar years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, and will entitle the reporting person to receive a distribution of cash equal in value to the amount by which the average of the per share closing prices of the Company's common stock over a specified period of time exceeds the base value of $20.00 (which is subject to adjustment in the event of a change in the Company's capitalization). In the event the formula decribed above results in no payment to the reporting person on a vesting date, then the incentive bonus units vesting on such date will be forfeited without consideration.
6. This option grant is fully vested.
7. On January 29, 2006, the Company accelerated the vesting of all stock options with an exercise price greater than $15.90 per share (i.e., all "underwater" options as of the close of market on January 27, 2006, the previous business day), which includes this option grant with an exercise price of $19.58. Sales of such shares by officers and employees may not occur until the original vesting dates, and sales of any such shares by officers and employees who terminate their employment with the Company (subject to certain exceptions in the case of retirement, death, disability and change of control) are disallowed for 3 years following the later of the date of their termination of employment and their exercise of the options. As of January 29, 2006 1/3 of the grant had already vested. An additional 1/3 of the grant vested on 2/2/2006. The orignal vesting date of the remaining 1/3 of the grant is 2/2/2007.
8. This option grant becomes vested and exercisable at the rate of one-third on 10/18/2005, one-third on 10/18/2006, and one-third on 10/18/2007.
9. On January 29, 2006, the Company accelerated the vesting of all stock options with an exercise price greater than $15.90 per share (i.e., all "underwater" options as of the close of market on January 27, 2006, the previous business day), which includes this option grant with an exercise price of $16.35. Sales of such shares by officers and employees may not occur until the original vesting dates, and sales of any such shares by officers and employees who terminate their employment with the Company (subject to certain exceptions in the case of retirement, death, disability and change of control) are disallowed for 3 years following the later of the date of their termination of employment and their exercise of the options. Accordingly, the option holder may only sell 1/3 of the original grant on or after 6/28/06, an additional 1/3 of the original grant on or after 6/28/07 and the remaining 1/3 of the original grant on or after 6/28/08.
