        <footnote id="F1">The original Form 4 filed on 4/4/2007 erroneously stated that on 4/3/2007, Reporting Person exercised options to purchase 3,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.25 per share.  In fact, Reporting Person exercised options to purchase 3,572 shares at an exercise price of $1.89 per share.  Thus, following the transaction on 4/3/2007, Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of 3,572 shares of common stock and 5,960 shares of derivative securities.</footnote>
