EXPLANATION OF RESPONSES: (1) In lieu of cash compensation, the Non-Employee Directors opted to receive shares of the Company's common stock for their services rendered to the Board of Directors. The price per share (the "Price") is the average of the closing price of the Company's common stock over ten consecutive trading days. Each pricing period commences on the Transaction Date which is the day of the Board meeting, and ends on the Execution Date which is the last day of the ten-day pricing period. The number of shares is calculated based on the amount of cash the Director would have received in connection with the Board meeting divided by the Price. The shares are issued but held by the Company and not subject to disposition by the Director until the termination of the Director's service from the Company. /s/ VIVIAN H.
