Except as indicated in the following note, the securities shown in Table I are beneficially owned for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a)(2) by Mr. Schauer. (1) On June 11, 2001, Mr. Schauer sold 264,817 shares to the Issuer for the fair market value of such shares ($7.08 per share, determined using the previous day s closing price for the shares as reported in the Wall Street Journal.)

The Issuer, pursuant to its Employee Stock Option Plan, facilitated Mr. Schauer's exercise of these options by purchasing 264,817 shares from Mr. Schauer immediately upon his exercise of that same number of options. The price paid by the Company for the shares was $7.08 per share, the fair market value of the shares as of that date. Mr. Schauer then used the proceeds of this sale to pay the applicable withholding taxes and exercise price of the remaining 205,183 options, and now beneficially owns 205,183 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.
