Explanation of Responses:

 
(1) The Company previously granted to Mr. Hicks the following options in 1997 and 1998: (i) options to purchase 225,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $21.9375 per share, (ii) options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $20.00 per share and (iii) options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $15.00 per share. The granting of these options was previously reported as required. The expiration date for these options was March 24, 2008, November 13, 2007 and November 13, 2007, respectively. This form is being filed to report that the expiration date of these options has been extended to April 10, 2013. There has been no change to the exercise price of the original options. In accordance with SEC interpretations, the extension of the term of the options is reported on this form as the cancellation of the original options and the grant of new options with different expiration dates.
