        <footnote id="F1">The number of shares acquired represents additional restricted stock units resulting from the payment on September 21, 2005 of a cash dividend of $0.1125 per share of common stock based on $47.42, the average of the daily high and low trading prices of the issuer's common stock on the dividend payment date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">These deferred stock units will be settled in shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis (or wholly or partly in cash, at the discretion of the issuer's compensation committee) when the reporting person ceases to be a covered employee as defined in Section 162(m)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or to the extent that total taxable income from salary and other non-performance based sources (combined with the value of any shares and cash distributed under the issuer's performance share award program) is less than $1 million for a given fiscal year.  The deferred stock units are also payable upon a change in control.</footnote>
