(1) The securities being reported are the total shares received from three restricted stock grants dated 12/16/03, 2/28/05 and 2/28/06 which vest in 25% increments on each anniversary of the grant dates.
(2) The deferred stock units are the reporting person's holdings in the Company deferral plan as of the date of this form filing. There is no conversion or exercise price of derivative security (Box 4), or no exercisable or expiration date (Box 2) for these holdings.
(3) The phantom stock holdings reflect the total remaining from grants made on 12/16/03, 2/28/05 and 2/28/06, and each phantom share is representative of one share of the issuer's stock on the grant dates. The phantom stock vests in 25% increments on each anniversary of the grant dates and is payable in cash determined by the closing price of the issuer's stock on the anniversary dates.
