------------- (1) The potential realizable value columns of the table illustrate values that might be realized upon exercise of the options immediately prior to their expiration, assuming the Company's Common Stock appreciates at the compounded rates specified over the term of the options. These numbers do not take into account provisions of certain options providing for termination of the option following termination of employment or nontransferability of the options and do not make any provision for taxes associated with exercise. Because actual gains will depend upon, among other things, future performance of the Common Stock, there can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in this table will be achieved. 5 The following table sets forth information concerning the value of options exercised during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000 and the value of unexercised stock options held by the Named Executives as of October 31, 2000: Aggregated Option Exercises and Year End Values
