Explanation of Responses:
1. As previously disclosed, on November 12, 2007, for estate planning purposes, the Reporting Person transferred by gift 102,000 shares of Common Stock to the Jeffrey Lynford 2007 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (the "GRAT"), an irrevocable trust whose trustee is Tondra C. Lynford, the wife of the Reporting Person. On December 16, 2008, the GRAT distributed to the Reporting Person 61,130 shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the annuity payment payable to the Reporting Person during the first taxable year of the GRAT pursuant to the trust agreement governing the GRAT.
2. Held by the GRAT. Since the Reporting Person's wife is the trustee of the GRAT and the Reporting Person is the primary beneficiary of the GRAT, the Reporting Person may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by the GRAT.
3. Includes 164,787 shares of Common Stock held in a non-qualified deferred compensation trust with respect to which the Reporting Person has neither voting nor dispositive power until such shares are distributed from the deferred compensation account.
4. On December 17, 2008, the GRAT distributed to the Reporting Person 40,870 shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the annuity payment payable to the Reporting Person during the second taxable year of the GRAT pursuant to the trust agreement governing the GRAT (at the time of this distribution, the assets held by the GRAT were insufficient to pay the full value of this annuity payment, and, accordingly, all assets of the GRAT were distributed to the Reporting Person and the GRAT was terminated).
