Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	On February 4, 2005 (the "Trade Date"), the reporting person, through a revocable trust (the "Trust") of which she is the grantor, entered into a prepaid variable forward contract ("PVF Agreement") with an unrelated third party (the "Buyer") relating to 21,800 shares of Common Stock. Under the PVF Agreement, the Trust has agreed to sell the shares in accordance with footnotes 2 and 3 below. The transaction will be settled in one tranche on February 7, 2008. The Trust will receive a prepayment from the Buyer in the amount of $754,561.66 within 3 business days of the Trade Date. Such proceeds are to be used for tax planning and estate planning purposes.
(2)	On each settlement date, the Trust, unless it has elected cash settlement as described in the following sentence, will deliver a number of shares of Common Stock. In lieu of delivering shares, theTrust may elect cash settlement. The number of shares to be delivered is determined as outlined in footnote 3 below.
(3)	If the "Final Price" (a market-based price as determined under the terms of the PVF Agreement) is less or equal to the Floor Price, the Trust shall deliver 21,800 shares; if the Final Price is greater than the Floor Price but less than the Cap Price, the Trust shall deliver that number of shares equal to 21,800 multiplied by (x) the Floor Price, divided by (y) the Final Price, and if the Final Price is greater than or equal to the Cap Price, the Trust shall deliver that number of shares equal to 21,800 multiplied by (x) the sum of (i) the Floor Price (expressed as an amount) and (ii) the product of (a) one and (b) any amount by which the Final Price exceeds the Cap Price (expressed as an amount), divided by (y) the Final Price. This transaction has a Floor Price of $40.358 and a Cap Price of $59.35.
(4)	A revocable Trust of which the reporting person is the grantor.
