Explanation of Responses: |
Remarks:
This Form 4 amendment is being filed to amend the Reporting Person's Form 4 filed on December 30, 2009. The original Form 4 correctly reflected that the Reporting Person held 65,000 shares directly, but inadvertently reported in a footnote that said shares included 9,347 shares attributable to the Reporting Person's 401(k) account. This amendment corrects that disclosure by reflecting that the Reporting Person directly holds 65,000 shares in addition to the shares held in the Reporting Person's 401(k) account. Further, this amendment corrects the number of shares reported as held in the Reporting Person's 401(k) account. This amendment does not otherwise amend the original Form 4. |
