(1)	The two reported transactions involved an amendment of an outstanding option, resulting for purposes of Section 16 in the deemed cancellation of a portion of the "old" option and the grant of a replacement option. The amendment is solely for the purpose of increasing the exercise price of the portion of the option deemed to have been cancelled and replaced. The option was originally granted on January 8, 2003 and provides for vesting as to 12.5% of the shares on the date 6 months from the date of grant and the remaining shares in 42 equal monthly installments thereafter. The vesting of the option applies first to the portion not deemed to be amended, and then to the portion deemed to have been amended. The amendments of the options were made to avoid adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code that may apply absent the amendments.
