Explanation of Responses: |
1. Shares acquired with cash dividends under the issuer's Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase and Sale Plan. |
2. Transactions not required to be reported since last filing. |
3. Shares represented by units of interest in the Company Stock Fund held under the issuer's Retirement Savings 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 on 10/2/07; one-third become exercisable on 10/2/08; and one-third become exercisable on 10/2/09. |
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. |
