Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) On the transaction date, the reporting person entered into a non-recourse structured finance loan (a "Loan") at a 70% loan-to-value ratio with an unaffiliated third party lender (the "Lender") that matures three years from the transaction date. As collateral for the Loan, the reporting person pledged to the Lender on such date the number of shares of common stock indicated (the "Pledged Shares"). The Loan and pledge of the Pledged Shares provide that if the reporting person fails to repay such Loan at the maturity date, or if an event of default on such Loan occurs at an earlier date, the Lender may sell the Pledged Shares to satisfy the unpaid balance of the amount owed; however, the reporting person would not be liable for any deficiency if the Pledged Shares, or the proceeds from the sale thereof, are not sufficient to satisfy in full all amounts owed on such Loan.
(2) At maturity of the Loan, assuming the reporting person has repaid the loan in full with interest, the shares are delivered to the reporting person and the non-recourse loan will be terminated.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space provided is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
