(1) Original Form 4 reported $0.25 as the Exercise Price due to clerical error.
(2) The options vest and become exercisable as to 30% of the options on January 20, 2006; another 30% of the options on January 20, 2007; and the remaining 40% of the options on January 20, 2008.
(3) The transaction involved an amendment of outstanding options to change the exercise price from $0.24 to $0.80, resulting in the deemed cancellation of the original options and the grant of replacement options with the same vesting and exercisability terms as the cancelled options.
