Explanation of Responses:

Remarks:

This amendment is being filed to correctly state the amount of securities owned (9,025 with exercise price of $34.9350) by the reporting person which was inadvertently misreported on the most recent amendment and is correctly stated on this amendment. On the original Form 3, a Stock Option award of 10,500 with an exercise price of $29.24 should not have been reported and has been removed from the reporting person's security holdings.
