Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) On August 26, 2009, the reporting person entered into a Rule 105b-1 trading plan with an unaffiliated commercial bank to execute a series of variable prepaid forward sale contracts. On September 3, 2010, the reporting person settled a prepaid variable contract originally entered into on September 3, 2009 with an unaffiliated commercial bank. At the initiation of the contract, the bank paid $539,588.84 to the reporting person.
(2) Under the contract reported on this form, the reporting person was obligated to deliver to the bank up to 60,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock depending on market price at maturity on September 6, 2011. In addition, if the market price per share was equal to or greater than $13.4729 on the first anniversary of the contract date, the bank would be obligated to pay an additional amount, determined by the bank based on the stock price at the time, to the reporting person three business days after the first anniversary. If the market price per share on the first anniversary of the contract date was less than $13.4729 the contract would then be terminated and the reporting person would deliver shares to the bank pursuant to the early termination provision in the contract.
(3) Upon early termination, if the market price per share was equal to or less than $11.2274, the reporting person would deliver 60,000 shares to the bank and if the market price per share was greater than $11.2274 the reporting person would deliver a fewer number of shares. The closing market price per share on September 3, 2010 was $5.35. Accordingly, the reporting person transferred to the bank 60,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock.
(4) Common stock held by a limited liability company of which reporting person holds 100% membership interest.
(5) Common stock held by the reporting person's wife. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.
(6) Common stock held by trust for the benefit of the reporting person's child of which the reporting person is a trustee. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
