Mr. Carey’s plan covers (1) the possible exercise and sale of up to 76,687 shares of common stock subject to options owned by Mr. Carey over the period commencing April 15, 2008 and ending no later than December 23, 2008 and (2) the possible sale of up to 20,000 shares of common stock owned by Mr. Carey’s spouse over the period commencing April 15, 2008 and ending no later that May 8, 2008, in each case subject to the terms of the plan.
     Chris Biedermann, the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, adopted a written plan in accordance with rule 10b5-1 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the purpose of selling a portion of his Company equity holdings. Mr. Biedermann’s plan covers the possible exercise of up to 10,000 shares of common stock subject to options owned by Mr. Biedermann, and the potential sale of 8,000 of those shares, commencing on May 15, 2008, subject to the terms of the plan.
     Tony Housh, a director of the Company, adopted a written plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the purpose of selling a portion of his Company equity holdings. Mr. Housh’s plan covers the possible exercise and sale of up to 7,600 shares of common stock subject to options owned by Mr. Housh over the period commencing February 4, 2008 and ending no later than September 30, 2008, subject to the terms of the plan.
     A Rule 10b5-1 plan is designed to enable a corporate insider to avoid any real or perceived conflict of interest in connection with the trading of company securities. A written plan is established at a time when the corporate insider does not have material inside information. Once the plan is executed, the corporate insider does not retain any discretion over the securities traded as the broker administering the plan is authorized to trade company securities in volumes and at prices determined independently by the broker, subject to the terms set forth in the plan.
