Explanation of Responses:

1. Conversion of Exercise Price of Derivative Securities is 1-for-1.

2. Restricted Stock Units are entitled to dividend equivalent rights which accrue on dividend record dates.

3. These stock units vest immediately upon grant. However, delivery of these shares will not occur until the occurrence of one of the following: a change in control of the Company, the director's death or permanent and total disability, or one day after the date the director ceases to be a director of the Company.

4. This amount represents cumulative total of all Restricted Stock Units (deferred stock awards) granted to reporting person. This cumulative total does not represent additional Restricted Stock Units granted to the reporting person, but is merely a total of all awards reported separately on this SEC Form 4.

5. These stock units will be automatically converted into shares of stock upon the reporting person's retirement from the Board of Directors of the Company.
