        <footnote id="F1">On March 19, 2004, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 14,000 shares of common stock.  The option was granted under the Chart Industries, Inc. 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $13.89 upon the approval of the Board of Directors, in a transaction exempt under Rule 16b-3.  The option vests in four equal installments based on the Company's satisfaction of certain performance criteria for fiscal periods ending December 31, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.  On March 23, 2005, it was determined that the Company met the performance criteria for 2004 previously established by the Board of Directors, resulting in vesting of the option as to 3,500 shares.</footnote>
