Under the terms of the 2004 Award, the reporting person could have received a number of shares of The Chubb Corporation's common stock (&quot;Common Stock) ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award depending on The Chubb Corporation's relative stock performance compared to other companies in the S&amp;P 500 Index that continued to file public reports during the period from May 1, 2004 through December 31, 2006.  At the time of the 2004 Award, the reporting person reported receipt of performance shares representing 15,224 shares of Common Stock which was maximum number of shares payable under the 2004 Award.  On February 6, 2007, the performance multiplier for the 2004 Award was determined to be 143% of target, which resulted in an issuance to the reporting person of 10,885 shares of Common Stock.<
