Explanation of Responses:

1. Shares acquired from automatic quarterly purchases with dividends through a dividend reinvestment plan. The price/share reflects a 10% discount on the fair market value price, a bonus feature of the plan for all participants.

2. This sale is being made to previously adopted trading instructions intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These trading instructions were adopted on March 17, 2005. The representation regarding material non-public adverse information speaks as of that date.

3. Incentive/non-qualified stock option grants--Option to Buy. Figures in Column 9 reflect the total balance for each separate option.
