| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Represents 371 Performance Shares cancelled from a maximum of 2,167 Performance Shares from the first tranche of the 2011 grant as a result of the Issuer's TSR for the calendar-year 2011 performance period relative to the members of a predetermined peer group reflecting the Committee's determination of the performance criteria for that tranche. See Remarks for additional detail. |
| 2. Represents cancellation of all of the shares originally comprising the second tranche of the 2011 grant as a result of the Issuer's TSR for the calendar-year 2012 performance period relative to the members of a predetermined peer group reflecting the Committee's determination of the performance criteria for that trance. See remarks for additional detail. |
| 3. Includes 2,655 shares from prior awards of Performance Shares which will not be earned as the applicable performance conditions were not met, but will remain outstanding under the terms of the Performance Share Plan until the time vesting requirement is met, at which point the shares will be cancelled. |
| Remarks: |
| On March 1, 2011 the Reporting Person was granted performance-based restricted Common Shares of the Issuer ("Performance Shares") subject to vesting upon the satisfaction of both time based service and performance-based vesting conditions, specifically, the Issuer's total shareholder return ("TSR") during the three calendar years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 relative to the members of a predetermined peer group of companies. In addition, vesting for all three tranches was further conditioned upon continued service through December 31, 2013. The number of Performance Shares initially granted represented the maximum number of Common Shares in which the holder could potentially vest upon the attainment of maximum performance criteria. In February 2012 and 2013,the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Committee") determined the Issuer's relative TSR for the 2011 and 2012 calendar years, respectively. The Committee's determination with respect to the 2013 performance period for the third tranche of the 2011 grant will be made at the Committee's February 2014 meeting. On December 31, 2013, a portion of the Performance Shares of the 2011 grant vested as the service condition had been met. This Form reports (i) the cancellation in full of the second tranche of the 2011 grant as a result of the minimum performance not being achieved in respect of 2012 and (ii) the cancellation of a portion of the Performance Shares from the first tranche of the 2011 grant due to the maximum performance criteria not being achieved in respect of 2011. |
