Explanation of Responses:

1. In (1) October 2005, the issuer paid a special dividend of $2.50 per share of common stock to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2005 and in (2) January 2007, the issuer paid a special dividend of $5.40 per share of common stock to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 29, 2006. In connection with each of these special dividends, the issuer's Board of Directors adjusted all options that were awarded, but not exercised, prior to the ex-dividend date for each special dividend to account for the effect of each special dividend. The number of shares subject to each such option was increased and the exercise price correspondingly decreased such that each option had the same fair value to the holder before and after giving effect to the payment of each special dividend.

2. Pursuant to the adjustments described in Footnote 1, the number of shares underlying Mr. Linde's options increased by 4,064 from 112,500 to 116,564 in September 2005 and by 5,855 from 116,564 to 122,419 in December 2006, and the per share exercise price was correspondingly decreased.

3. The option vested in three equal annual installments beginning on January 18, 2002.

4. The option vested in three equal annual installments beginning on January 17, 2003.
