| * | If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v). |
| ** | Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a). |
| (1) | The price reported is the weighted average sale price in open market transactions at prices ranging from $29.25 to $29.3750. The reporting person undertakes to provide upon request by the Securities and Exchange Commission staff, the issuer, or a security holder of the issuer, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price. |
| (2) | These options originally became exercisable in four equal annual installments, commencing March 24, 2004. Effective January 20, 2005, the vesting of all of these options was accelerated. However, shares received upon the exercise of accelerated options were subject to a restriction on transfer (covering sales, gifts, pledges, and any other method of disposition) that remained in effect for some of the shares until March 24, 2007. |
| (3) | These options originally became exercisable on or after the earlier of (a) March 24, 2008 or (b) two years after certain stock price targets were attained. The vesting of these options was accelerated effective June 2, 2005. However, shares received upon the exercise of accelerated options were subject to a restriction on transfer (covering sales, gifts, pledges, and any other method of disposition) that was to remain in effect until the earlier of the original vesting date of those options or termination of the reporting person's employment with the issuer. |
| (4) | These options originally became exercisable in four equal annual installments, commencing June 17, 2005. Effective January 20, 2005, the vesting of all of these options was accelerated. However, shares received upon the exercise of accelerated options were subject to a restriction on transfer (covering sales, gifts, pledges, and any other method of disposition) that remained in effect for some of the shares until June 17, 2008. |
| (5) | These options were fully vested and exercisable as of the grant date, June 2, 2005. However, shares acquired upon the exercise of these options were subject to a restriction on transfer (covering sales, gifts, pledges, and any other method of disposition). The transfer restriction was scheduled to lapse on 25% of the shares covered by the grant on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Also, the transfer restriction would have lapsed in full upon termination of employment for any reason. However, all remaining restrictions were terminated on November 12, 2008. |
