Explanation of Responses:

1. The Turner Family Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") continues to own the same number of shares (1,566,024) as it did immediately prior to this transaction. The transaction reflects an exchange (the "Exchange") of partnership units in the Partnership for estate planning purposes by the reporting person, Ann S. Turner, and her spouse, William V. Turner, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the issuer, with their children, Joseph w. Turner, President and CEO and a director of the issuer and Julie T. Brown, a director of the issuer. Although, as a result of the Exchange, Joseph Turner and Julie Brown replaced Ann and William Turner as general partners, each family member's share of the Partnership's capital account and profits did not substantially change and their economic interest in the shares of the issuer's common stock held by the Partnership were not significantly affected by the Exchange. (continued in Footnote2 below)

2. (con't from Footnote1) Prior to the Exchange, as the general partners of the Partnership, Ann and William Turner were, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), together deemed to beneficially own 54.14% of the 1,566,024 shares of the issuer's common stock held by the Partnership, which reflected their combined share of the Partnership's capital account. Pursuant to the exchange agreement, each of Ann and William Turner obtained 548 limited partnership units in exchange for all 400 of their respective general partnership units, and each of Joseph Turner and Julie Brown obtained 400 general partnership units in exchange for 548 limited partnership units. As a result of the Exchange, for purposes of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, Joseph Turner and Julie Brown are now deemed to beneficially own the shares of the issuer's common stock held by the Partnership to the extent of their respective proportionate shares of the Partnership's capital account.
