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)	Award of restricted stock in accordance with Section 16b-3(d) of the Exchange Act by the Company's independent Executive Compensation Committee ("ECC") containing vesting restrictions with target amounts of restricted stock, subject to a reduction in share amounts, based on achievement of performance goals established by the ECC under the Issuer's Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Program (effective as of November 20, 2013).
(2)	Due to a scrivener's error, the Reporting Person's Table I, lines 1 and 2, columns 5 totals in the December 14, 2015 Form 4 overstated the Reporting Person's holdings by 192,501 shares. This mistake has been corrected in the amounts indicated.
(3)	Award by Issuer's ECC of non-incentive restricted shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Issuer's Amended and Restated 1990 Long-Term Incentive Plan. On the transaction date, the closing price on the NYSE of the Issuer's Common Stock was $1.53 per share.
(4)	These securities are exercisable as follows: 30% upon the first anniversary date of the grant; 60% upon the second anniversary date of the grant; and 100% upon the third anniversary date of the grant.
