Explanation of Responses:


I disclaim any beneficial interest in these shares.

Grantee may elect to pay the exercise price of the option or any tax withholding
obligation in connection therewith by directing the Company to withhold a
portion of the shares otherwise distributable to the grantee upon exercise or by
transferring to the Company previously acquired shares, valued at their fair
market value on such taxable date.

20% of grant shares exercisable upon the first to occur of (i) the date the
average share price equals or exceeds a 10% increase in share value (subject to
a minimum vesting waiting period of 6 months from date of grant), or (ii) next
grant anniversary date.

Shares become exercisable upon the first to occur of (i) the date the rolling
20-day average NYSE closing price equals or exceeds $10.74 (subject to a minimum
vesting waiting period of 6 months from date of grant), and (ii) July 9, 2009.
