        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person was granted 60,000 restricted stock units on June 10, 2008, of which 12,000 vested immediately. The transaction reported herein represents the vesting of one-fifth of the 48,000 restricted stock units that did not vest immediately. The balance of the award will vest in four equal installments on each of June 10, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Each unit converts into a share of common stock on a one-for-one basis.</footnote>
