Explanation of Responses:

1. Sales reported on this form were transacted pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan.

2. The weighted average sales price is reported as stock sales were aggregated for reporting purposes. The per share transaction price ranged from $6.69 to $6.59. The reporting person will provide, upon request from an appropriate party, the per share sales volumes and prices.

3. Shares held by a trust of which the reporting persons spouse and brother are trustees and the reporting persons spouse and children are beneficiaries.

4. On March 1, 2010, the reporting person entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan with an unaffiliated commercial bank to execute a series of variable prepaid forward sale contracts. Under the contract reported on this form, the reporting person will deliver to the bank up to 237,240 shares of the Issuer's common stock depending on market prices at maturity on May 18, 2012. If the market price per share at maturity is equal to or less than the floor price of $6.6278 per share, the reporting person will deliver 237,240 shares to the bank. If the market price per share at maturity is greater than the floor price, the reporting person will deliver a fewer number of shares. In exchange, the bank is obligated to pay $1,100,665.49 to the reporting person two business days after the date of the contract. At the option of the reporting person, the contract may be settled at maturity by delivering cash in lieu of stock.

5. The reporting person pledged 237,240 shares of the Issuers common stock to secure its obligations under the contract and retains dividends and voting rights in the shares during the term of the pledge.
