Explanation of Responses:

1. The option was immediately exercisable as to both vested and unvested shares. The grant consisted of an option to purchase 12,500 shares of Common Stock and continues to vest as follows: 75% has vested and the remaining 25% vests on November 30, 2004. To the extent the reporting person exercises the option as to unvested shares, such shares will be subject to a repurchase right held by the Issuer, which right will lapse in accordance with the vesting schedule for the option grant. The partial exercise of the option described herein related only to fully vested shares.
