Explanation of Responses:

1. Transactions not required to be reported since last filing.

2. Shares acquired with cash dividends under the issuer's Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase and Sale Plan.

3. Shares represented by units of interest in the Company Stock Fund held under the issuer's Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan.

4. Employee Stock Options (Options) granted under the issuer's Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Exercise of these Options cancels the related Rights described herein on a one-for-one basis.

5. One-third become exercisable 10/1/04; one-third become exercisable 10/1/05; and one-third become exercisable 10/1/06.

6. The Options include contractual rights (Rights) similar to employee restricted appreciation rights with exercise dates only during a 30 day period following a change in control of the Company (as defined in the LTIP). Exercise of Rights cancels the related Options on a one-for-one basis and entitles the reporting person to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise (as defined int he LTIP) minus the option exercise price.
