Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	The Form 4 filed on January 7, 2010 inadvertently excluded 23,834 shares of the Issuer's stock exercised pursuant to stock options granted to the reporting person, which together with the options exercised for 1,166 shares reflected in the January 7, 2010 Form 4, represented a total of 25,000 options exercised on January 7, 2010. These option exercises are required to be disclosed in Table I and Table II of this Form 4, and this Form 4 has been amended accordingly.
( 2)	The shares were sold pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on May 29, 2009 in order to cause the applicable sales to fall within the scope of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Rule 10b5-1 trading plan contains specific instructions to sell 25,000 shares of common stock if the price of the Issuer's common stock exceeds a pre-determined price per share. In addition to the 1,166 shares sold on January 7, 2010, 23,834 shares were sold on January 5, 2010 pursuant to the plan for a total of 25,000 shares.
( 3)	These options vest and become exercisable in a series of installments. The first installment, which consisted of 25% of the original aggregate number of options granted, vested on December 15, 2006, and 25% of the remaining options vested each year thereafter through December 15, 2009.
