Explanation of Responses:

Pursuant to the terms of his restricted stock unit award agreement, the Company withheld 13,677 of the shares otherwise deliverable to him in order to satisfy the resulting tax withholding obligation. As the performance conditions underlying this restricted stock unit award were not achieved at the maximum level, 6,222 previously reported restricted stock units did not vest. In addition, 19,014 previously reported shares granted pursuant to an additional restricted stock unit award did not vest, as the performance conditions underlying that award were not achieved.
2. These securities are held by the Walther-Stockton 2013 Family Trust.
