Any restricted stock which has not lapsed is forfeited. Notwithstanding the above, if reporting person is an employee upon the occurrence of deemed occurrence of a change in control, all restricted stock shall lapse.

Remarks:

In the June 14, 2005 Form 4, the grant of the restricted stock was for $0.00 and with respect to the employee stock option (right to buy), the disclosed expiration date was 6/14/2005, but should have been 6/14/2015, and column 8 disclosed a price of $14.70, but should have disclosed a price of $0.
