Explanation of Responses:
1. Under the terms of the Time-Vested Deferred Stock (TVDS) granted to the Reporting Person, if dividends were paid on Common Stock between the grant date and the vesting date of the TVDS, then upon vesting of the TVDS the Reporting Person is entitled to receive additional shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate value of the dividends relating to those shares. The price set forth in this column represents the market price of Common Stock on the date that shares of TVDS owned by the Reporting Person vested and therefore the date that additional shares of Common Stock relating to dividends were earned.
2. The price set forth in this column represents the market price of Common Stock on the date that Stock Purchase Plan units vested and tehrefore the date that additional shares of Common Stock relating to dividends (which accrued during ther period from the date the units were acquired and the vesting date) were earned.
3. Upon vesting, shares of TVDS convert into shares of Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis.
4. Stock Purchase Plan (SPP) units are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis.
5. This was the closing price per share of Common Stock on the date that the Stock Purchase Plan units were acquired (05/27/09).
