Explanation of Responses:

Each deferred share represents a right to receive cash upon settlement equal to the value of one share of common stock. Deferred
shares were acquired upon deferral of cash under the Company's Amended and Restated Non-Employee Directors Compensation Program,
in a transaction exempt under Rule 16b-3(d). Deferred shares will be settled, in a lump sum or in installments, at or following
the participant's termination of service, as elected by the participant.
