        <footnote id="F1">On March 1, 2010, a family limited partnership of which the reporting person is a general and limited partner, Promerica L.P., 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, Promerica will deliver to the bank up to 18,600 shares of the Issuer's common stock depending on market prices at maturity on March 15, 2012.  If the market price per share at maturity is equal to or less than the floor price of $6.7972 per share, Promerica will deliver 18,600 shares to the bank.  If the market price per share at maturity is greater than the floor price, Promerica will deliver a fewer number of shares.  In exchange, the bank is obligated to pay $91,091.32 to Promerica 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.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Promerica pledged 18,600 shares of the Issuer's common stock to secure its obligations under the contract and retains dividends and voting rights in the shares during the term of the pledge.  The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of this stock except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.</footnote>
