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)	The bonus stock award vests in three equal annual installments beginning on 11/11/2014.
(2)	The original Form 4 filed on November 12, 2013 to report this transaction incorrectly stated the number of restricted shares in Columns 4 and 5 of Table I. This amended report is filed to correct this error and the amount of restricted shares set forth in Columns 4 and 5 of Table I indicates the correct number of restricted shares acquired in the reported transaction.
(3)	In December 2010, the reporting person gifted 6,600 restricted shares to his minor children in trust for which the reporting person acts as the trustee as follows: John M. Selser, Jr. Trust - 3,300 shares; Eugenie Gardner Selser Trust - 3,300 shares. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for the purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
Remarks: The original Form 4 filed on November 12, 2013 to report this transaction incorrectly stated the number of restricted shares in Columns 4 and 5 of Table I.  This amended report is filed to correct this error and the amount of restricted shares set forth in Columns 4 and 5 of Table I indicates the correct number of restricted shares acquired in the reported transaction.
