Explanation of Responses:
1. The Issuer effected a 1-for-8 reverse stock split on March 8, 2013. The number of shares of Common Stock, as well as derivatives of the Common Stock (including Stock Units and Stock Options) reported in this Form 4 have been adjusted to account for the reverse stock split.
2. Represents transfer of shares to the Nancee R. Berger Legacy Trust.
3. These stock units were granted under the Issuer's Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan and represent notional equity interests in the Issuer credited to the filing person's deferred compensation account. Each stock unit is the economic equivalent of one share of the Issuer's Common Stock. These stock units become payable, through the issuance of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, on the date specified by the filing person, which can be no earlier than five years following the year of deferral for such shares or, if earlier, six months after the date the filing person separates from service with the Issuer or the date of death of the filing person.
4. These options represent retained, or "rollover", options. In connection with the Issuer's recapitalization completed on October 24, 2006, the filing person elected to convert certain vested options in the Issuer into fully-vested options in the surviving corporation. No share-based compensation was recorded for these retained options, as these options were fully vested prior to the consummation of the recapitalization (which triggered the "rollover event"). These options expire on July 1, 2013, October 1, 2013 or January 2, 2014. On November 21, 2012, the filing person paid the exercise price on a cashless basis, resulting in the Issuer withholding of 69,636 of the shares to pay the exercise price and taxes, issuing to the filing person the remaining 59,148 shares.
