Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The total shares reflected are held in separate custodial accounts of 75 shares, 70 shares, 70 shares and 40 shares for four minor sons. ( 2 )On June 1, 2011, the reporting person was granted an option to exercise 14,000 shares of Common Stock. The option vests in three annual installments of 4,667 shares on December 1, 2011, 4,667 shares on December 1, 2012 and 4,666 shares on December 1, 2013. ( 3 )Previously reported as restricted stock units. Pursuant to a prior election of the reporting person, upon vesting on June 25, 2016 of restricted stock units previously granted to the reporting person, the reporting person deferred the receipt of 16,393 shares of common stock and received instead an equal number of shares of phantom stock pursuant to the Company's 2013 Directors' Equity Incentive Plan. ( 4 )Each share of phantom stock represents a right to receive one share of common stock. ( 5 )The phantom stock becomes payable in a single issuance of common stock when the reporting person no longer serves as a director of the Company in accordance with the prior election of the reporting person. ( 6 )Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis. ( 7 )Subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in the restricted stock unit agreement, the restricted stock units vest in full on the earlier of (i) June 30, 2017 or (ii) the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Vested shares will be delivered in a single lump sum to the reporting person effective as of the date when the reporting person no longer serves as a director of the Company in accordance with the election of the reporting person.
