Explanation of Responses:

1. This Form 4/A amends three Form 4s originally filed on behalf of the reporting person on March 16, 2009, September 9, 2009 and September 7, 2010.

2. In the Form 4 filed on March 16, 2009, 30,000 unexercised stock options granted to the reporting person on July 27, 2005 were incorrectly classified as 30,000 common shares and included in "Item 5. Amount of Securities Beneficially Owned Following Reported Transaction(s)". This incorrect classification was subsequently carried forward on the Form 4s filed on September 9, 2009 and September 7, 2010, respectively.

3. The reported purchase of 9,090 common shares on March 12, 2009 and the reported sales of 3,000 common shares on each of September 9, 2009 and September 7, 2010, respectively, were incorrectly classified in "Item 6. Ownership" as "D" (direct holdings of the reporting person), rather than "I", when such shares, all of which were purchased and sold by the reporting person's adult daughter, were not beneficially owned by the reporting person. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares and this report should not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for any other purpose.
