* Represent private transactions pursuant to which the named persons bought from or sold to each other, as indicated above, the number of Shares set forth above at a price equal to the closing price of the Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the transaction. These transactions were entered into solely for the purpose of rebalancing positions among the named persons.
** On the various dates set forth above, and as more fully described below, the named persons entered into a series of privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transactions with a financial institution through which they acquired an economic interest in an aggregate of 1,380,700 Shares and as a result of which such named persons are subject to the same economic gain or loss as if they had purchased the underlying Shares. Such persons currently intend to exercise these call options using general working capital currently available. More specifically, these transactions represent call options pursuant to which, on or prior to September 1, 2006 (the Exercise Date), the named person may acquire the number of Shares set forth above at the price per Share set forth above. These call options may be exercised at any time prior to their expiration on September 1, 2006. Simultaneously with the purchase of each call option, the named person also sold a put option to the same counterparty for the same number of Shares pursuant to which, if on September 1, 2006 the price per Share set forth above is greater than the closing price of the Shares on September 1, 2006 (the Closing Price), the counterparty may require the named person to, at such persons election, either (i) pay the counterparty an
amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of the price per Share set forth above over the Closing Price and (b) the number of Shares set forth above or (ii) acquire the number of Shares set forth above at the price per Share set forth above. If a call option is exercised prior to September 1, 2006, the named person will receive a cash rebate from the counterparty for the period from the day after the exercise date up to and including September 7, 2006 calculated using an annual rate of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.30%.
