Explanation of Responses:

1. Each performance share represents a contingent right to receive shares of issuer's common stock. The performance rights vest 3 years from the date of grant upon Janus' achievement of performance goals, which are based upon Janus' 3-year operating income margin. These achievements may result in a payout range between 0% and 200% of the target. The number of performance rights shown in columns 5 and 7 is equal to the target number of performance rights that may be earned. There is no expiration date for performance rights.

2. Number of shares reported in Column 7 represents an estimated number of shares. Filer will amend this Form 4, if necessary, once the number of shares has been determined based on a final accounting valuation of the reported grant.

3. Each performance share represents a contingent right to receive one share of issuer's common stock. The vesting of the performance award is subject to the achievement of both of the following criteria: 1) the issuer's stock price closing above $10 per share over 20 consecutive trading days at any point during the 4-year award term; and 2) a 4-year ratable vesting schedule commencing December 30, 2012.

4. Each performance share represents a contingent right to receive one share of issuer's common stock. The vesting of the performance award is subject to the achievement of both of the following criteria: 1) the issuer's stock price closing above $8 per share over 20 consecutive trading days at any point during the 4-year award term; and 2) a 4-year ratable vesting schedule commencing December 30, 2012.

5. The option award vests annually in four equal installments (within one share) beginning on February 1, 2011.
