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)	Represents additional shares withheld to satisfy the reporting person's tax liability resulting from the vesting and settlement of performance share units previously reported.
(2)	Of the 394,162 shares owned directly, 29,892 are restricted stock units and deferred shares (including dividend equivalent rights). An upward adjustment of one share was made to the total number of shares beneficially owned by the reporting person. The adjustment was made to reconcile a discrepancy between what was reported previously and the actual number of shares as determined by a recent review of the Company's records. It is believed that the discrepancy in the number reported is a result of rounding.
(3)	Shares held in Mr. Harvey's Amended and Restated Revocable Trust, dated December 17, 2007, in which Mr. and Mrs. Harvey serve as trustees.
(4)	Shares held in Mrs. Harvey's Amended and Restated Revocable Trust, dated December 17, 2007, in which Mr. and Mrs. Harvey serve as trustees.
(5)	The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of the securities for the purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
