Explanation of Responses:
1. This represents a restricted stock award. All 5,100 shares vest on 2/22/2011.
2. Some shares are subject to restrictions and forfeiture under Company Stock Benefit Plan.
3. 301.886 shares were acquired through dividend reinvestment.
4. Option is exercisable as to 5,367 shares on 2/22/2009, 5,367 shares on 2/22/2010 and the remaining 5,366 shares on 2/22/2011.
5. Each performance share represents a contingent right to receive up to two shares of FSS common stock based on a three year performance metric. The number of shares to be received will depend on the Company's relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for the 3-year period beginning on January 1, 2008, which will be evaluated against the TSR over the same 3-year period for a pre-set group of approximately 30 peer companies. Total Shareholder Return is calculated by adding the changes in a company's closing stock price between December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2010 to any dividends paid during that period, and is adjusted for any stock splits or dividends.
