Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents the value of the Reporting Person's Company Stock Fund Account
in the Company's 401(k) plan as of March 31, 2001, expressed as share
equivalents. As of such date, approximately 96.6% of the Company Stock Fund
was invested in Company Common Stock, and the remainder was invested in cash.
2. Represents the number of shares of Company Common Stock in the Reporting
Person's Individual Brokered Account within the Company's 401(k) plan as of
March 31, 2001.
3. Represents shares of restricted stock granted to the Reporting Person on
October 8, 1996 under the Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan as
follows: (i) 18,669 shares which may vest on October 8, 2001, (ii) 16,941
shares which may vest in equal over a five-year period, and (iii) 56,542
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.
3A.On February 15, 2001, 535 shares of restricted stock vested under the
Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan and 54,937 shares of restricted
stock were forfeited. On that date, the Company purchased the 535 vested
shares pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e).
4. Represents the number of directly owned shares acquired at various times
and prices by the Reporting Person.
5. Reflects shares allocated to the Reporting Person's account under the
Company's Salary and Bonus Deferral Plan as a result of dividends paid on
shares held in such Plan. On February 5, 2001, 14,277 shares vested under
the Company's Salary and Bonus Deferral Plan, 5,185 of these shares were
purchased by the Company to pay taxes; and, the balance was distributed to
the Reporting Person.
6. 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.
