| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Reflects the transfer of an aggregate 96,393 shares owned indirectly by Ms. Johnson-Leipold in equal amounts to trusts established for the benefit of each of her children (for which her husband serves as a fiduciary) in satisfaction of a previously contracted debt owed by Ms. Johnson-Leipold. |
| 2. Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports direct ownership of these shares, which she holds (a) personally, (b) as the sole shareholder of a certain corporation that holds shares, and (c) as restricted stock awards. |
| 3. Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports these shares as settlor and beneficiary of the Trusts, which beneficially own reported shares directly or indirectly as a shareholder of certain corporations and as the general partner of certain limited partnerships (collectively, the "Controlling Entities"). The amount reported also reflects a change in form of beneficial ownership following the contribution of shares by one such trust to a grantor retained annuity trust for which Ms. Johnson-Leipold is the trustee and sole annuitant. |
| 4. Shares held by trusts established for the benefit of each of Ms. Johnson-Leipold's children, for which her husband serves as a fiduciary. |
| 5. Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports these shares as settlor of and beneficiary of the Trusts. Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports all shares held by certain corporations or limited liability companies of which certain trusts (the "Trusts") may be deemed to be controlling shareholders. In addition, Ms. Johnson-Leipold reports all shares held by certain limited partnerships of which one of the Trusts is a general partner. Due to the nature of such limited partnerships, it is impractical to determine each Trust's or other trusts' proportionate interest (as defined by Rule 16a- l(a)(2)(ii)(B)) in such limited partnerships. Ms. Johnson-Leipold disclaims beneficial ownership in all shares held by the Controlling Entities in which she does not have a pecuniary interest. |
