Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The acquisition of the 75,915 shares of common stock reflects an award of restricted stock on January 6, 2016, pursuant to the Company's 2009 Restricted Stock/Unit Plan. The award vests two years from the grant date subject to the participant's continued employment with the Company and subject to accelerated vesting upon the death, disability or retirement of the participant, or upon a change in control of the Company.
(2) In addition to the acquisition reported in this Form 4, the amount of shares beneficially owned in column 5 of Table I has been increased by 11,744 shares in order to correct an inadvertent balance carryforward error initially made in a previous Form 4 filing in April 2015. The error only affected column 5 of Table I; there were no errors to the transaction amounts reported in previous Form 4 filings.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
