        <footnote id="F1">On August 26, 2005, the reporting person filed a Form 3 reporting the grant of an option to purchase 29,550 shares of common stock.  While 29,550 option shares were in fact granted on April 26, 2005 as indicated in footnote 5 of the Form 3, 14,775 of these shares vest in equal installments over a period of four years upon the achievement by the issuer of certain annual performance objectives and the recipient's continued service to the company.  These performance vesting option shares were mistakenly reported as acquired in Table II on the Form 3.  As of August 26, 2005, the reporting person only had been granted 14,775 derivative securities that are exercisable at $9.00 per share and subject to reporting obligations of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which vest in four equal installments beginning April 26, 2006 and continuing on each December 31 thereafter.</footnote>
