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) The total amount of securities owned reflects an additional 4,648 shares not previously reported. While conducting a review of ownership records for estate planning purposes, it was determined that a discrepancy existed in ownership records of the reporting person. The addition of these shares corrects this discrepancy. The reporting person has been unable to confirm when the discrepancy arose, and therefore, has inserted the date of the Company's initial public offering as the "Date of Original Filed" for this form.
(2) On December 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the issuer voted to accelerate the vesting of all 157,000 previously unvested shares of restricted stock. All of the reporting person's restricted stock is currently vested.
(3) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(4) The original option grant became exercisable in increments of twenty-five percent (25%) on each of 10/26/2008, 10/26/2009, 10/26/2010, and 10/26/2011.
(5) Upon exercise, the derivative security converts on a one-to-one basis into Issuer's Common Stock. The exercise price of the derivative security is set forth in Column 2 of Table II of this report.
(6) Represents remaining stock options from the October 26, 2007, stock option grant following the reported option exercise. On December 6, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the issuer voted to accelerate the vesting of 47,000 unvested stock options originally granted January 26, 2010. Although not part of the October 26, 2007, grant, the reporting person is disclosing the acceleration of such stock options to avoid confusion in future filings. Following such option acceleration and the reporting person's exercise of 80,000 stock options reported herein, all of the reporting person's 530,784 remaining outstanding stock options are currently exercisable.

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