Explanation of Responses:

2. These transactions reflect the conversion of stock originally deferred for three years, and held in the Phantom 3/07 account, to directly-held common stock. Shares were withheld to cover tax obligations. Pursuant to his 10b5-1 Plan dated 8/13/2009.

3. RSUD2 award listed in Table II has been reported at 75% of the original grant amount. The award was paid out on 3/1/2010 at 100%. The shares coded F were withheld income taxes associated with the payout. This was done pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan dated 8/13/2009.

4. RSUP6 award listed in Table II has been reported at 75% of the original grant amount, as that represents the minimum amount guaranteed to be paid out upon vesting. Because of the performance targets achieved, the award was paid out on March 1, 2010, at a performance-rate of 125%. The shares coded "A" represent that portion attributable to this performance adjustment. The shares coded "F" were withheld to cover income tax obligations associated with the payout. Pursuant to his 10b5-1 Plan dated 8/13/09.
