Explanation of Responses:
1. The shares were directly owned by CIBC Investments Limited ("CIBCIL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
2. On May 11, 2004, CIBCIL entered into a "zero-cost collar" arrangement pursuant to which the options could settle in multiple tranches over five quarters at the option of CIBCIL, by delivery of shares of common stock, by cash payments, or by a combination of the two methods. Each option was comprised of 20 components, which were to expire and were to be exercisable over a 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on March 28, 2006. Each component of the option was attributable to 60,000 shares. On August 24, 2005, the terms of the options were amended to revise the call option strike prices and to reset the expiration dates of all the options to August 24, 2005.
