Vinik Overseas, and 9,400 shares of Common Stock (constituting
approximately 0.2% of the shares outstanding) held by the Discretionary

constituting approximately 2.9% of the shares outstanding.

by Vinik Partners, the 161,100 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Overseas,
and the 9,400 shares beneficially owned by the Discretionary Account.
Such shares total 291,900 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately
4.9% of the shares outstanding.
(iv) VGH owns directly no shares of Common Stock. By reason
of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VGH may be deemed to own
beneficially the 121,400 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Partners,
constituting approximately 2.1% of the shares outstanding.
(v) VAM LLC owns directly no shares of Common Stock. By reasons
of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, VAM LLC may be deemed to own the
161,100 shares beneficially owned by Vinik Overseas and the 9,400 shares
beneficially owned by the Discretionary Account. When the shares beneficially
owned by Vinik Overseas and the Discretionary Account are aggregated they
total 170,500 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 2.9% of
the shares outstanding.

own a total of 291,900 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately
4.9% of the shares outstanding.
