        <footnote id="F3">This option was previously reported as covering 10,927 shares at an exercise price of $3.6606 per share.  As a result of the spin-off by E-Z-EM, Inc. of AngioDynamics, Inc. on October 30, 2004, the exercise price was reduced to $2.3681 per share and the number of shares was reduced to 9,973, to maintain, together with AngioDynamics options granted to the reporting person, the economic value of the option before the spin-off.</footnote>
