Explanation of Responses:
(1)Grant to Reporting Person of option to buy Common Stock under the Company's 
Stock Incentive Plan in 
transaction exempt under Rule 16b-3(d).  Options become exercisable at a rate 
of 25% of each grant on the 
second through fifth anniversary dates of November 19, 1996.  The tax 
withholding right permits a participant to 
elect, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, to satisfy the 
withholding requirement, in whole or 
in part, by having the Company withhold shares equal to the tax.  Of the 
remaining 182,000 options, 500 options 
first become exercisable on August 1, 1996, and 500 options will become 
exercisable on each of August 1, 
1997, August 1, 1998, and August 1, 1999, all with an exercise price of 
$23.7813; 22,500 options first became 
exercisable on November 15, 1996, and 22,500 will become exercisable on each of 
November 15, 1997, 
November 15, 1998, and November 15, 1999, all with an exercise price of 
$22.375; and 22,500 options will 
become exercisable on each of  November 21, 1997, November 21, 1998, November 
21, 1999, and November 
21, 2000,  all with an exercise price of $33.0313.  All of the nonexercisable 
stock options, in the event of a 
"Change in Control" as defined in the Plan under which they were granted, may 
become immediately exercisable 
unless specifically prohibited by the terms of applicable 
law.
