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)	This Form 4 is being filed solely for the purpose of reporting the sale of Australian CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) trading on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) beneficially owned by the Reporting Person's spouse. CDIs trading on the ASX evidence beneficial ownership of the Issuer's common stock, $1.60 par value, on a ten-for-one basis. Effective February 10, 2010, the CDIs will be delisted from the ASX. In addition, due to an administrative error, the number of Australia CDIs beneficially owned is corrected on this Form 4.
(2)	On January 12, 2010, the Reporting Person's spouse sold 15,000 CDIs (representing beneficial ownership of 1,500 shares of Issuer's common stock) on the ASX for AUD$5.34 per share, and on January 13, 2010, the Reporting Person's spouse sold 7,000 CDIs at AUD$5.21 per share and 3,319 CDIs at AUD$5.26 per shares on the ASX, representing beneficial ownership of 1,031 shares of Issuer's common stock.
(3)	The number of CDIs held by the Reporting Person's spouse following the reported transactions is zero. In addition to the 12,480 shares of the Issuer's common stock held by the Reporting Person, 49,430 CDIs are held in the Reporting Person's Superannuation Fund, representing indirect beneficial ownership of 4,943 in Issuer's common stock.
