Explanation of Responses:

(1) On the reporting person's Form 4 filed on October 21, 2002, the reported amount of securities directly owned following the reported transaction failed to account for the effect of the 2-for-1 stock split in 1998.  The correct amount is 47,000 shares.

(2)  The reporting person's wife has owned such shares at all times since December 1987, when such shares were last reported by the reporting person.

(3)  The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by his wife.
