Explanation of Responses:

1. The Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), the conversion of which are reported herein, were granted to the Reporting Person by the issuer on 5/06/08 utilizing a fair market value (FMV) of a share of the issuers stock of $49.08 in conjunction with the Reporting Persons forfeiture of rights under the issuers supplemental executive retirement plan. The RSUs vest and are received by the Reporting Person in fourteen installments beginning on May 2, 2008, with each additional portion vesting on the 6th of May for each subsequent year ending with the last grant on May 6, 2021 unless the Reporting Person has previously elected a longer deferral period. This report reflects the vesting of the next annual portion of the original RSU award, acquisition of those underlying shares in whole units by the Reporting Person and withholding of sufficient shares to pay applicable income taxes.
