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)	Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of common stock. The reporting person had vested restricted stock units settled in shares of common stock.
(2)	The reporting person no longer has a reportable beneficial interest in 17,000 shares of the issuer's common stock that are owned by a family trust and were included in the reporting person's prior ownership reports.
(3)	Shares withheld by Registrant to satisfy minimum statutory withholding requirements on vesting of restricted stock units.
(4)	This award was granted on November 2, 2011, and a portion of the award was subsequently modified on May 24, 2012. The modified portion of the award, which represents 75,000 of the 150,000 restricted stock units subject to the original grant, vests daily over the period from March 24, 2012 to June 21, 2013, assuming continued employment through the applicable vesting date. This transaction represents the settlement, pursuant to the terms of the modified award, of the portion of the award that vested during the period from March 24, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (with any units subject to the modified portion of the award that vest after December 31, 2012 to be settled no later than September 5, 2013). The remaining 75,000 restricted stock units subject to the original grant are scheduled to vest on March 21, 2016, assuming continued employment through the applicable vesting date.
