Explanation of Responses:
1. Since the date of the reporting person's last report, 350 shares were acquired through automatic payroll deduction/investment and participation in the Company's 401-k Plan. The 12,740 shares previously owned through the Company's 401-k Plan were rolled over into a self-directed IRA and therefore are now owned directly.
2. Options were granted in tandem with stock appreciation rights exercisable automatically in the event of a change in control as defined by the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan) under which they were granted. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, unexercisable options are automatically forfeited three months following date of retirement of the reporting person.
