        <footnote id="F1">The 1,213.566 amount reported reflects non-derivative shares comprised of 1,206.855 shares @ $14.11 per share acquired under the Issuer's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (&quot;ESPP&quot;) on 03/31/08, and 6.7110 dividend shares acquired and reinvested on 03/10/08 under the ESPP at $16.5265 per share. This correction to decrease the prior amount reported by 299.1692 ESPP non-derivative shares is the only amendment to the original filing.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These shares were held indirectly under the Issuer's 401(k) Plan as of 03/31/08. JP Morgan Retirement Plan Services accounts for holdings in the stock fund in units, comprised of stock and cash reserves. The amount reported also reflects 1.1051 vested dividend units @ $16.56 from 03/10/08 credited to Reporting Person's account. The shares reported represent an approximate value based upon the fund balance and market value of Issuer's common stock.</footnote>

        <footnote id="F6">Shares of phantom stock units under the Issuer's Executive Deferral Plan are immediately exercisable, but issued following termination of Reporting Person's employment with Issuer. This amount reflects 2.6020 at $16.56 phantom stock unit dividends credited to Reporting Person's EDP account on 3/10/08.  The total amount also reflects a minor adjustment due to rounding.</footnote>
