Explanation of Responses: |
1. The option vests in three equal annual installments beginning on February 10, 2005. |
2. The option vests in three equal annual installments beginning on February 8, 2006. |
3. The option vests in three equal annual installments beginning on February 14, 2007. |

5. Represents the target number of shares to be received upon attainment of an average Return On Equity (ROE) of 12% and Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in Earnings Per Share (EPS) of 10% over the 2005 through 2007 performance period. Both the ROE and EPS targets are based on after-tax adjusted operating income for the financial services businesses, normalized for significant one-time benefits or charges that do not accurately reflect the operating performance of the Company's businesses in the judgment of the Compensation Committee. Attainment of 13% average ROE and EPS growth of 12% would result in an award of 150% of target while average ROE of 10% or less and EPS growth of 8% or less would result in an award of 50% of target. The actual number of shares to be received will be determined by the Compensation Committee in February 2008. |
6. The Performance Shares convert to common stock on a 1 to 1 basis. |
7.

Both the ROE and EPS targets are based on after-tax adjusted operating income for the financial services businesses, normalized for significant one-time benefits or charges that do not accurately reflect the operating performance of the Company's businesses in the judgment of the Compensation Committee. Attainment of 13.5% average ROE and EPS growth of 14% would result in an award of 150% of target while average ROE of 11% or less and EPS growth of 10% or less would result in an award of 50% of target. The actual number of shares to be received will be determined by the Compensation Committee in February 2009. |
8. Represents the target number of shares to be received upon attainment of an average Return On Equity (ROE) of 15% and Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in Earnings Per Share (EPS) of 13% over the 2007 through 2009 performance period. Both the ROE and EPS targets are based on after-tax adjusted operating income for the financial services businesses, normalized for significant one-time benefits or charges that do not accurately reflect the operating performance of the Company's businesses in the judgment of the Compensation Committee. Attainment of 16% average ROE and EPS growth of 14% would result in an award of 150% of target. No award would be earned if average ROE is 10% or less and EPS growth is 6% or less. The actual number of shares to be received will be determined by the Compensation Committee in February 2010. |
