Explanation of Responses:

( 2 )This line reports the balance of shares in the Profit Sharing Trust after covering certain administrative costs of the Trustee as of the plan statement date of January 31, 2012. ( 3 )Vesting one-third per year beginning three years from February 23, 2010, the date of grant. ( 4 )Each Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit ("PSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock. ( 5 )The PSUs are eligible to vest on August 16, 2016, contingent on the continued employment of the reporting person through such date and the satisfaction of the requirement that the average closing price of the issuer's common shares be at least $35.00 during the six month period before the vesting date; provided, however, that the number of PSUs that vest is limited to the number of PSUs multiplied by five times the fair market value of the issuer's common shares on the grant date, divided by the fair market value of the issuer's common shares on the day before the applicable vesting date. This limitation caps the fair market value of the award at five times the fair market value of the award on the grant date.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
