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 December 9, 2010, these shares were transferred by Mr. Weiss to the Declaration of Trust of Michael A. Weiss (the "M. Weiss Trust"). The M. Weiss Trust is a revocable trust and Mr. Weiss is the trustee and sole beneficiary of the M. Weiss Trust. Accordingly, these shares continue to be held directly by Mr. Weiss. These shares were reported in previously filed Form 4s as being held indirectly. This transfer was not a reportable transaction.
(2)	On December 9, 2010, these shares were transferred by Mr. Weiss to the Michael A. Weiss Trust Agreement Gamma #2 (the "Gamma Trust"). The Gamma Trust is a grantor retained annuity trust and Mr. Weiss is the sole beneficiary. Accordingly, these shares are now held indirectly by Mr. Weiss. Previously filed Form 4s reported that Mr. Weiss was not the only beneficiary and that he disclaimed beneficial ownership over these shares to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. This transfer was not a reportable transaction.
(3)	On September 3, 2010, these shares were transferred by Arlene Weiss, the wife of Mr. Weiss, to the Declaration of Trust of Arlene Weiss (the "A. Weiss Trust"). The A. Weiss Trust is a revocable trust and Ms. Weiss is the trustee and sole beneficiary of the A. Weiss Trust. Accordingly, these shares continue to be reported as indirectly held by Mr. Weiss. This transfer was not a reportable transaction.
(4)	Previously filed Form 4s for Mr. Weiss reported that Mr. Weiss was the indirect beneficial owner of (a) 287,751 shares held by the Weiss Family 2008 Irrevocable Trust Alpha, (b) 287,751 shares held by the Weiss Family 2008 Irrevocable Trust Beta, and (c) 431,627 shares held by the Weiss Descendants 2008 Irrevocable Trust. However, Mr. Weiss is neither the trustee nor a beneficiary of any of these trusts. Therefore, Mr. Weiss does not beneficially own any of the shares held by these trusts.
