Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents the value of the Reporting Person's Stock Fund Account in
the Company's 401(k) plan as of March 31, 2001, expressed as share
equivalents. As of such date 96.6% of such fund was invested in Company
Common Stock.
2. Represents shares of restricted stock granted to the Reporting Person on
October 23, 1997 under the Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan as
follows: (i) 2,987 shares which may vest on October 8, 2001, (ii) 1,771
shares which may vest over a five-year period, and (iii) 8,961 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.
3. Represents shares acquired for the Reporting Person's account under the
Company's Salary and Bonus Deferral Plan. The shares allocated to the
Reporting Person's account were acquired by the plan trustee at various
times and prices.
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.
5. Represents an option granted to the Reporting Person on December 6, 1996
under the Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 5,000 shares
of the Issuer's Common Stock at $19.00 per share.
