Explanation of Responses:

1. In February 2008, the reporting person was inadvertently awarded 1,645 shares under the Issuer's Performance Stock Plan (the "PSP") in excess of the maximum number of shares permitted to be awarded in a particular calendar year. In order to assure achievement of the full intent of that grant and the potential deductibility of associated expense upon vesting pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, on April 27, 2010 the Compensation Committee replaced 1,645 shares previously awarded under the PSP with 1,645 new shares under the PSP with vesting conditions identical to those associated with the February 2008 grants.

2. These securities were granted pursuant to the PSP. Based on the satisfaction of conditions established pursuant to the PSP, the Reporting Person has voting rights and dividend entitlement with respect to a portion of these shares based on the satisfaction of certain performance-based criteria, but full ownership will not vest until the satisfaction of additional conditions.

3. A total of 1,674 of these shares were acquired through the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan in August 2008 and 1,547 in August 2009. Number of shares may reflect reinvested dividends.

4. Based upon information supplied by the Plan's recordkeeper. Number of shares varies periodically based on contributions to plan.
