Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Price reported constitutes the average weighted price of shares sold. Shares were sold at varying prices in the range of $23.5-$23.505. The reporting person hereby undertakes, upon request of the Commission, the issuer or a security holder of the issuer, to provide full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.
(2)  Performance Share Units granted as a performance award, vesting based upon degree of achievement of performance goal. At the end of the performance period, 50% of award is paid in common shares free of restrictions, and 50% is paid in cash. If the final amount is less than 100% of the share units, the balance is forfeited to the company.
(3)  Represent phantom shares awarded under the Company's Supplemental Defined Contribution Plan for Executive Employees.
(4)  The date reflected above as the Date Exercisable is the scheduled vesting date of the Restricted Share Units. Once vested, settlement of the Restricted Share Units and delivery of common shares is subject to an additional two-year holding period.
