** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Excludes shares previously held indirectly by the family trust (FT) on March 7, 2011 that were transferred to a family limited partnership (FLP) as described in this Note 1. On March 16, 2011, FT transferred a total of 31,806 shares to FLP, a limited partnership formed in connection with transfers reported on this Form, and in which the reporting person and his spouse are the general partner, solely in their capacity as trustees of Gift Trust #1 (described in Note 3), and the reporting person and his spouse, solely in their capacity as trustees of FT, are the sole limited partners.
(2) Excludes 322 shares previously held indirectly by Gift Trust #1 on March 7, 2011 that the reporting person and his spouse, in their capcity as trustees of Gift Trust #1, transferred to FLP on March 16, 2011. Following said transfer, the reporting person continues to be deemed the beneficial owner of the 322 shares so transferred to and held by FLP, as Gift Trust #1 acquired an equivalent general partner interest in FLP in exchange therefor.
(3) An irrevocable gift trust of which the reporting person and his spouse are trustees and of which the reporting person's adult children are the sole beneficiaries.
(4) The reported securities are held by FLP. On March 23, 2011, the reporting person and his spouse, in their capacity as trustees of FT, divided the limited partner interest described in Note 1 in two equal amounts (each representing an interest in 15,903 of the 32,108 total shares held by FLP), and thereafter sold one of such limited partner interests to Gift Trust #2 (described in Note 6) and the other to Gift Trust #3 (described in Note 7) for an aggregate purchase price of $194,478 per transaction. Following said transactions, through Gift Trust #1, Gift Trust #2 and Gift Trust #3, the reporting person continues to be deemed the beneficial owner of all 32,128 shares held by FLP. See also Notes 2, 6 and 7.
(5) Excludes shares reported as indirectly held in the last three rows of Table I of this Form 4.
(6) An irrevocable trust of which the reporting person and his spouse are trustees and of which one of the reporting person's adult children is the sole beneficiary.
