Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  As reported in Form 4 dated 5/11/2007, Mr. Rodgers was granted 3,296,176 Performance Restricted Stock ("RS") (which were originally issued as restricted stock units and exchanged for RS pursuant to the terms of a tender offer dated August 2008) that could result in 0 to 659,235 Performance RS being earned annually by Mr. Rodgers based on the company's achievement of performance milestones set by the Company's Compensation Committee. The amount reported on this Form 4 reflects the forfeiture of the non-achieved portion of certain 2010 performance milestones as approved by the Compensation Committee on February 24, 2011. The forfeited target shares are not able to be earned in a future period.
( 2)  305,747 shares were surrendered to pay tax applicable to the vested of 654,983 restricted stock awards that were previously reported on Form 4 dated May 11, 2007.
