Explanation of Responses:

1. This stock option was granted on December 1, 2007 pursuant to the Issuer's 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"). The acquisition by the affiliates of CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC of approximately 85% controlling interest in the Issuer was treated as a change in control under the 2007 Plan on February 26, 2010, thereby causing an acceleration of vesting of all awards outstanding pursuant to the 2007 Plan, including this stock option.
