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)	Grant date of stock option from which the vesting dates and expiration date are determined. While this date may not be the date on which the grant was effectively approved by the Compensation Committee or Board of Directors, the grant will nevertheless be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d)(3) promulgated under the Act because no sales of the options or the underlying shares occurred within less than six months of approval of the grant.
(2)	One-third of the shares underlying this option grant became exercisable on each of November 15, 2002, 2003, and 2004.
Remarks: On July 11, 2002, a Form 4 for Mr. RisCassi was filed incorrectly stating that he was granted 36,000 options. Such Form 4 should have indicated that he was granted 30,000 options. All prices and quantities have been adjusted to reflect the Company's 2-for-1 stock split on May 20, 2002.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space 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.
