Explanation of Responses: |
1. On March 16, 2010, a family limited partnership of which the reporting person is a general and limited partner, Promerica, L.P., settled a prepaid variable forward sale contract originally entered into on March 16, 2009 with an unaffiliated commercial bank. At the initiation of the contract, the bank paid $565,137.53 to Promerica. |
2. The forward sale contract obligated Promerica to deliver to the bank at maturity up to 100,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock depending on market prices at maturity. If the market price per share at maturity was equal to or less than the floor price of $7.69 per share, Promerica would deliver 100,000 shares to the bank. If the market price per share at maturity was greater than the floor price, Promerica would deliver a fewer number of shares. The market price per share on March 16, 2010 was $7.09. Accordingly, Promerica transferred to the bank 100,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock. |
3. Shares held by a trust of which the reporting person's spouse and brother are trustees and the reporting person's spouse and children are beneficiaries. |
