Explanation of Responses:
1. The Phantom Stock Units were settled in cash as per the terms of the award. For reporting purposes, however, the transaction is deemed to be a simultaneous acquisition and disposition of the underlying common stock and is reflected as such in this report.
2. The amount of securities beneficially owned includes the reporting person's acquisition in exempt transactions of 32 shares of common stock acquired through dividend reinvestment since the date these holdings were last reported.
3. Each Phantom Stock Unit represents a contingent right to receive a cash payment equal to the value on the vesting date of one share of the Company's Common Stock.
4. The reporting person is the holder of other Phantom Stock Units as follows: 13,316 units are scheduled to vest on January 27, 2014 and 17,437 units are scheduled to vest on January 27, 2015.
