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) The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. This filing shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Act of 1934 or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any equity securities covered by this filing.
(2) Prior to October 22, 2010, these 35,002 shares of the issuer's common stock were held in a Florida UGMA account for the benefit of Alexandra B. Miller ("Ms. Miller") and were reported by the Reporting Person as indirect beneficial ownership through such UGMA account. The UGMA account for Ms. Miller terminated automatically in accordance with its terms on October 22, 2010, and until July 21, 2011 these 35,002 shares were owned by Ms. Miller, and were then transferred to AMIL of Ohio, LLC. The Reporting Person indirectly holds 0.01% interest in AMIL of Ohio, LLC and Ms. Miller holds, directly or indirectly, the remaining interest. The shares transferred to AMIL of Ohio, LLC may be deemed the gift of 0.01% of such shares (i.e., approximately 3.5 shares of the issuer) indirectly to the Reporting Person.
(3) On May 20, 2011, 68,664 securities held by Milgrat I (P7) were transferred to Trust C. Such transaction only effected a change in the form of beneficial ownership without changing the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest in such securities and was exempt from Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to Rule 16a-13.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space provided is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
