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) Represents a grant of restricted shares under the Company's Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan. The restricted shares vest and the restrictions cease to apply on twenty percent of the award on each February 28th over a five year period beginning February 28, 2015.
(2) Represents performance shares which may convert, into an equivalent number of restricted common shares of the Company based on the Company's share price appreciation inclusive of all dividends (TRS), and its TRS relative to its peer group, over the three-year measurement period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016. The share price targets will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis with respect to any dividend payments made during the measurement period. The number of restricted shares earned shall in no event exceed the product of(a) the performance shares granted and (b) $43.22.
(3) With respect to 70% of the performance shares, 33.33% of this portion of the award will be earned if the Company's aggregate TRS equals 25% over the three-year measurement period, 66.67% of the award will be earned if the Company's TRS equals 30%, and 100% of this portion of the award will be earned if the Company's TRS equals or exceeds 35%. With respect to 30% of the performance shares, 33.33% of this portion of the award will be earned if the Company's TRS is in the 50th percentile of its peer group over the three-year measurement period, 66.67% of this portion of the award will be earned if the Company's TRS is in the 60th percentile of its peer group during this period, and 100% of this portion of the award will be earned if the Company's TRS is in the 70th percentile of its peer group or greater during this period. The performance shares will convert on a pro-rata basis by linear interpolation between share price appreciation thresholds.
(4) Any restricted common shares earned on December 31, 2016 are subject to a time based vesting schedule. 50% of the shares will vest on January 2, 2017 and the remaining 50% will vest on January 2, 2018, contingent upon continued employment with the Company through the vesting dates.
