</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The measurement of fair value is based on a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs
used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as
quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active
markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable
inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own
assumptions.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     As of March 31, 2011, we held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on
a recurring basis. These consist of investments recorded within cash and cash equivalents and other
long-term assets, including investments held in trust associated with our nonqualified,
noncontributory, supplemental retirement benefit plans for selected management and employees that
are classified as trading securities and our interest rate swaps discussed in Note 5. Our
investments included in cash equivalents consist of common and collective trusts that are
administered similar to money market funds recorded at cost plus accrued interest to approximate
fair value. Our investments classified as trading securities consist primarily of mutual funds that
are publicly traded and for which market prices are readily available. Changes in the observed
trading prices and liquidity of money market funds are monitored as additional support for
determining fair value, and losses are recorded in earnings if fair value falls below recorded
cost. The fair value of our interest rate swap derivatives as of March 31, 2011 is determined based
on a discounted cash flow method.

<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     We also held non-financial assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a
non-recurring basis. These consist of goodwill and intangible assets. We did not record any
impairment charges on long-lived assets and no other significant events requiring non-financial
assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value occurred (subsequent to initial recognition)
during the three months ended March 31, 2011. For additional information on our goodwill and
intangible assets, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our Form 10-K for such period and Note 4 of this Form
