Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Granted March 1, 2014, this restricted stock award vests over four years with 25% vesting on each of the annual anniversaries of the grant date. ( 2 )Includes 1,864 shares purchased on January 31, 2014 pursuant to the company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). ( 3 )Achievement was met at 79% of target on the performance metrics from the July 1, 2012 performance grant. 988 shares are releasable on March 1, 2014. ( 4 )Achievement was met at 89% of target on the performance metrics from the March 1, 2013 performance grant. 13,350 shares are releasable on March 1, 2014. ( 5 )Shares sold to cover tax withholdings associated with the vesting of restricted stock. ( 6 )Shares sold on the open market are reported as an average sell price per share of $22.55; breakdown of shares sold and per share sale prices are as follows: 13,560 at $22.50; 365 at $22.95; 200 at $22.99; 89 at $23.00; 100 at 23.01; 117 at 23.03; 135 at $23.08 and 307 at $23.22 . ( 7 )The restricted stock award will be measured over a period of three years based on the achievement of total annual adjusted pro forma revenue and adjusted pro forma operating profit performance metrics (each measured on a calendar year basis). At the end of the three-year period, an average vesting factor will be applied to the total grant amount to determine the total amount eligible to vest based on achievement of the performance metrics. A modifier based upon total shareholder return over the three-year period will then be applied to determine the actual amount of shares to be vested. ( 8 )Granted March 1, 2014; vests one-fourth (1/4) on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining three-fourths (3/4) vesting in equal monthly increments over the next three years.
