**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Disposed of pursuant to agreement and plan of merger by and among issuer, WP Prism Inc. (f/k/a WP Prism LLC) and WP Prism Merger Sub Inc. (the "Merger Agreement") in exchange for $65.00 per share, without interest, less any applicable withholding tax, on the effective date of the merger.
(2)	Shares held in issuer's 401(k) Plan, disposed of pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the merger consideration ($65.00 per share).
(3)	The reported shares of phantom stock were cancelled in the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement in exchange for a right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of issuer shares previously subject to such shares of phantom stock and the merger consideration ($65.00 per share), less any applicable withholding taxes. Each share of phantom stock was the economic equivalent of a share of issuer common stock.
(4)	This option was cancelled in the merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement in exchange for an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of issuer stock previously subject to such option and (2) the excess, if any, of the merger consideration ($65.00 per share) over the purchase price per share previously subject to such option, less any required withholding taxes.
