Explanation of Responses:
1. The Common Stock reported in this item was issued upon the settlement of a portion of a grant of Salary Stock Units ("SSUs) awarded on December 31, 2009 pursuant to the Company's Salary Stock Plan (the "GMSSP") and vested upon grant. The portion of this award currently payable was settled on December 31, 2010 in cash, less a portion withheld for taxes.
2. On December 31, 2009 the employee received a grant of 4,380 SSUs, of which 1,460 SSUs were scheduled to be payable on December 31, 2010. On November 1, 2010 the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to effect a stock split in which each issued and outstanding share of Common Stock was converted into three shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the GMSSP, each issued and outstanding SSUs was automatically converted into three SSUs, so that the employee was credited with a total of 13,140 SSUs granted on December 31, 2009, of which 4,380 SSUs a became payable on December 31, 2010.
3. The SSUs do not have an expiration or exercise date or carry a conversion or exercise price. Each SSU is the economic equivalent of one share of the Company's common stock. Under the GMSSP, the fair value of the Company's common stock is the average of the high and low trading prices for the Company's common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, on which the Company's common stock is listed, on the date of the transaction, which was $36.77.
4. The SSUs reported in this item were awarded on December 31, 2010 pursuant to the Company's Salary Stock Plan (the "GMSSP"), and will be settled in three equal, annual installments beginning on December 31, 2011. Each SSU is fully vested and represents a right to receive one share of the Company's common stock on the applicable settlement date; provided, however, that if a settlement date occurs prior to the date that is six months following a consummation of an initial public offering of the Company's common stock, which occurred on November 17, 2010, the SSU will be settled by the delivery of cash (with certain exceptions) in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the GMSSP) of the Company's common stock as of the applicable anniversary date of the SSU's grant. The SSUs do not have an expiration or exercise date.
