Explanation of Responses:
1. This stock option vests 100% on July 1, 2017.
2. Represents a grant of performance-based share units under the issuer's Performance Pay Plan. Each performance-based share unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of issuer's common stock to be issued under the issuer's Second Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Compensation Plan.
3. Subject to certain continued employment requirements, vesting of these performance-based share units depends on the issuer's relative total shareholder return from July 1, 2014 through and including June 30, 2017. The amount reported represents the "target" number. The maximum number of units that may vest is 43,286 (300% of the target number). Between 0% and 300% of the target number of performance-based share units may vest on June 30, 2017, with the vesting percentage determined based on actual performance.
