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) Each Performance Stock Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of company common stock.
(2) The reported number of Performance Stock Units acquired is based on achievement of the performance-based vesting criteria (which is based upon the company's stock price) at the target level. The maximum number of shares that may be acquired under the award is 24,000. The actual number of shares that the reporting person will receive will depend on the company's stock price on the date the award vests.
(3) The Performance Stock Units will cliff vest at the end of the term of the reporting person's employment agreement with the company (which will be no later than November 30, 2010). The number of Performance Stock Units that will vest at that time will depend on the company's stock price on the date the award vests. Performance Stock Units that do not vest on the scheduled vesting date will terminate on that date.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space 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.
