   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;During the first six months of 2010, we granted restricted stock awards totaling 220,322
   shares valued at a total of $8.5&amp;#160;million. Of the restricted stock awards granted in the first half
   of 2010, a total of 201,200 awards vest in four equal annual installments. A total of 417,250
   stock options with a six-year term were awarded in the six months ended June&amp;#160;30, 2010 with an
   average exercise price of $37.67 that will vest in annual 25% increments over the next four years.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Stock based compensation pre-tax expense recognized in the six month period ended June&amp;#160;30,
   2010 totaled $6.8&amp;#160;million, or $0.10 per diluted share after tax. Stock based compensation pre-tax
   expense recognized in the six month period ended June&amp;#160;30, 2009 totaled $5.8&amp;#160;million, or $0.08 per
   diluted share after tax (excluding the impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s effective tax rate of the goodwill
   impairment recognized during the period). Stock based compensation pre-tax expense recognized in
   the three month period ended June&amp;#160;30, 2010 totaled $3.1&amp;#160;million, or $0.04 per diluted share after
   tax. Stock based compensation pre-tax expense recognized in the three month period ended June&amp;#160;30,
   2009 totaled $2.9&amp;#160;million, or $0.04 per diluted share after tax (excluding the impact on the
   Company&amp;#8217;s effective tax rate of the goodwill impairment recognized during the period.) The total
   fair value of restricted stock awards that vested during the six months ended June&amp;#160;30, 2010 and
   2009 was $7.4&amp;#160;million and $2.5&amp;#160;million, respectively. At June
   30, 2010, $23.2&amp;#160;million of compensation cost related to unvested stock options and restricted
   stock awards attributable to future performance had not yet been recognized.
