Explanation of Responses:
1. On July 13, 2005, the reporting person was awarded a contingent, performance based grant for an opportunity to earn 12,517 deferred units. This opportunity was subject to the satisfaction of certain performance criteria based upon specified peer groups. Depending upon the issuer's performance within the peer groups, the reporting person could earn some, all or none of the units. The issuer's actual performance resulted in 7,260 deferred units being granted, which vest as follows: 2,420 on March 19, 2007, 2,420 on January 1, 2008 and 2,420 on January 1, 2009. These deferred units were incorrectly reported as restricted shares and included in Table I on the reporting person's Form 4 filed on March 20, 2007.
2. Shares automatically withheld upon vesting of deferred units to satisfy tax withholding obligations.
3. The number of shares directly beneficially owned following the reported transactions was incorrectly reported on the reporting person's Form 4 filed on March 20, 2007. Following the transactions reported on the reporting person's Form 4 filed on March 20, 2007, the reporting person directly beneficially owned 33,903 ordinary shares.
4. Each deferred unit represents a contingent right to receive one ordinary share of issuer stock.
