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) Represents shares held by a trust for which the reporting person acted as trustee and was a beneficiary.
(2) Represents shares held by a trust for which the reporting person acts as trustee and is a beneficiary.
(3) On July 29, 2011, in connection with the terminaion of the the Florence H. Miller 2010 Annuity Trust Big 5, the shares held thereby were returned to the grantor. Such shares were subsequently gifted to a newly formed Florence H. Miller 2011 Annuity Trust Big 5. The net effect of this was to move the shares from the first trust to the second. However, as the reporting person was the trustee and a beneficiary of both trusts, the reporting person's net beneficial holdings did not change.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space provided is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
