Explanation of Responses:
( 1)	Exercise of Stock Options.
( 2)	Regular Sale.
( 3)	Total number of 401(k) Plan shares includes shares acquired through periodic dividend reinvestment, participant's contributions and employer matching contributions.
( 4)	The reporting person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the spouse's securities.
( 5)	Shares exercisable beginning one year after grant in 25% increments and thereafter annually upon the anniversary of the date of grant of the stock option.

Remarks:
Amending the Form 4 filed on 9/14/2010 to correct the footnotes. Due to an administrative error, the original Form 4 indicated that the exercise of stock options was part of the reporting person's 10b5-1 plan. The transactions reflected in the Form 4 filed 9/14/10 were a result of a regular exercise of stock options and not part of the 10b5-1 plan.
