Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Shares of restricted stock granted on January 7, 2013 under the Issuer's 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended. The restricted shares are subject to customary transfer restrictions and risk of forfeiture provisions, which lapse in one-third increments on the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant.
( 2)  Consistent with the provisions of the Issuer's 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan, the grantee did not pay any consideration to the Issuer for the restricted shares that were granted. By way of reference, the closing price per share of the Issuer's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on January 7, 2013 was $23.25.
( 3)  The stock options were granted under the Issuer's 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan and will vest and become exercisable in one-third increments on the first three anniversaries of the Date of Grant.
