Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

| (1) Amounts shown represent the various potential earnings levels under our "Annual Cash Incentive Plan", which range from 0% - 150% of the target cash bonus amount. The target amount is computed as a percentage of the executive's salary at the time of grant.  Actual amounts earned are shown in the "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the "Summary Compensation" table.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| (2) Amounts shown represent the various potential number of shares eligible to vest for awards granted under our "Equity Incentive Plan", which range from 50% - 100% of the target amount. The target share amount is computed as a multiple of the executive's salary divided by our closing common share price on the date of grant.  The number of shares granted are scheduled to vest in whole or in part on March 31 in each of 2015, 2016, and 2017 subject to time-based and performance-based vesting criteria.  Threshold share amounts represent awards that are subject to time-based vesting criteria only. |
| (3) Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of stock awards (excluding estimated forfeitures), computed in accordance with FASB Topic 718.
