Explanation of Responses:

1. Table I of this Form 4 discloses (a) the previously reported purchase by the Reporting Person of 3,530 shares upon the exercise of a stock option on July 28, 2003, and (b) the receipt of a grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock on July 30, 2003. The 3,530 shares are held indirectly in the name of the trustees of The Sporrer Family Trust, together with an additional 71,430 shares previously reported. In addition, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 8,000 shares previously reported as being held indirectly by the Reporting Person as trustee, and an additional 6,034 shares previously reported as being held indirectly by the Reporting Person as trustee. The Reporting Person disclaims any beneficial ownership of the 100 shares previously reported as having been purchased by his son, Tyler Sporrer. The grant of 5,000 shares of restricted stock was previously reported in Table II of the Form 4 filed by the Reporting Person on July 30, 2003. Please see footnote 3.

2. After the reported exercise of 3,530 options, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 5,000 options convertible into the Issuer's Common Stock. The 5,000 options have an exercise price of $26.81, and have vested or will vest in one-third increments on July 24, 2003, 2004 and 2005.

3. On July 30, 2003, the Reporting Person filed a Form 4 which reported his receipt of a grant of 5,000 shares of Performance Stock. The 5,000 shares previously reported in Table II as Performance Stock should have been reported as an acquisition of restricted stock in Table I. This Form 4/A amends Table I to disclose the grant of the 5,000 shares of restricted stock to the Reporting Person on July 30, 2003, and amends Table II to delete the description of the grant of Performance Stock.

4. Not applicable. The reported transaction is a grant of shares of restricted stock.
