Represents the value of the Reporting Person's Company Stock Fund Account in the Company's 401(k) plan as of March 31, 2001, expressed as share equivalents. As of such date, approximately 96.6% of the Company Stock Fund was invested in Company Common Stock. 2. Represents shares of restricted stock granted to the Reporting Person on October 8, 1996 under the Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan as follows: (i) 3,734 shares which may vest on October 8, 2001, (ii) 3,388 shares which may vest over a five-year period, and (iii) 11,308 shares which may be earned for the five-year performance period ending December 31, 2001 subject to the achievement of performance goals, 50% of which may be distributed when earned and 50% of which may be distributed over a five-year period commencing on the date earned. 2A.On February 15, 2001, 107 shares of restricted stock vested under the Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan and were purchased by the Company pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e); and 10,987 shares of restricted stock were forfeited. 3. Reflects shares allocated to the Reporting Person's account under the Company's Salary and Bonus Deferral Plan as a result of dividends paid on shares held in such Plan. 4. Represents amounts allocated to, and the total holdings in, the Reporting Person's Company Stock Fund Account in the Company's Supplemental Savings and Investment Plan as of March 31, 2001, expressed as share equivalents. Because the trustee and record keeper for this plan utilize unit accounting for the Company Stock Fund rather than share accounting, these amounts represent share equivalents allocated to the Reporting Person's account rather than shares of Common Stock. --------------------------------------------- ----------------------- **Signature of Reporting Person Date ** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations.
