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) On March 5, 2012, a Form 4 was filed for the reporting person disclosing a grant of 18,250 shares of common stock on March 1, 2012. This grant in fact never occurred. Instead, the reporting person was granted an award of 18,250 restricted stock units (RSUs). The Form 4 filed on December 7, 2012 reported an incorrect number of RSUs granted on March 1, 2012.
(2) The reporting person no longer has a reportable beneficial interest in 350 shares of common stock owned by Son A or 500 shares of common stock owned by Son B and included in the reporting person's prior ownership reports.
(3) The issuer's ESOP was terminated, and 6,141 shares of common stock previously reported as held through the ESOP were contributed to the IRA.
(4) Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock.
(5) The RSUs will vest on March 1, 2017 and the shares will be valued at the closing market price on that date and delivered to the reporting person.

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.
