Explanation of Responses:

1. All stock and option positions and prices reported herein have been adjusted to reflect a 50% stock dividend bearing a record date of January 30, 2004, a 25% stock dividend bearing a record date of July 30, 2004 and a 25% stock dividend bearing a record date of January 27, 2006.

2. The options reported herein were granted as part of the consideration for the reporting person's service as a director of the issuer. The transaction is neither a purchase nor a sale of a derivative security. No price is therefore reportable.
