        <footnote id="F2">On 4/24/07, the reporting person received a target award of 1,239 performance shares (the &quot;Award&quot;). Under the Award the reporting person would be entitled to receive a number of shares of Chubb Common Stock equal to the target award multiplied by a performance multiplier ranging from 0% to 200% depending on Chubb's relative stock performance compared to other companies in the S&amp;P 500 Index during the period from 1/1/07 - 12/31/09. On 2/24/10 the performance multiplier for the Award was determined to be 132.2%. As a result of the reporting person's previous election to defer receipt of shares issuable under the Award, 1,638 stock units are accrued to the reporting person's account.</footnote>
