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 reported transactions were effected for tax planning purposes.
(2) Reflects the inclusion of restricted shares inadvertently omitted from the reporting person's Form 4 filed on May 7, 2012 ("Original Form 4"). The number of securities reported on the Original Form 4 inadvertently reflected only the increase in shares held as a result of the lapsing of the restrictions on the first one-fifth of the earned restricted stock. In order to be consistent with the reporting of other earned restricted share awards, the reporting person is including the entire earned restricted stock amount in the holdings, subject to the schedule for the lapsing of restrictions on the remaining shares as stated in footnote (1) of the Original Form 4.
(3) Shares vested upon achievement of certain earnings and safety goals.

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

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
