Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents the value of the Reporting Person's Company Stock Fund Account
   in the Company's 401(k) plan as of December 31, 2001, expressed as share
   equivalents.  As of such date, approximately 97.95% of the Company Stock
   Fund was invested in Company Common Stock, and the remainder was invested
   in cash.

2. Represents shares of restricted stock granted to the Reporting Person
   on October 23, 1997 and April 22, 1998 under the Issuer's Long-Term Stock
   Incentive Plan as follows: (i) 6,147 shares which may vest over a five-year
   period, and (ii) 29,871 shares which may be earned for the five-year perform-
   ance period ending December 31, 2001 subject to the achievement of perform-
   ance goals, 50% of which may be distributed when earned and 50% of which may
   be distributed over a five-year period commencing on the date earned.

2A.On December 31, 2001, 2,152 shares of restricted stock vested under the
   Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan.  On that date, the Company
   purchased 1,100 of these vested shares pursuant to Rule 16(b)-3(e) and the
   remaining 1,052 shares were distributed to the Reporting person.

3. Represents shares directly owned by the Reporting Person's son. The
   Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership.

4. Represents amounts allocated to, and the total holdings in, the Reporting
   Person's Company Stock Fund Account in the Company's Supplemental Savings
   and Investment Plan as of December 31, 2001, expressed as share equivalents.
   Because the trustee and record keeper for this plan utilize unit accounting
   for the Company Stock Fund rather than share accounting, these amounts
   represent share equivalents allocated to the Reporting Person's account
   rather than shares of Common Stock.

5. Represents shares acquired for the Reporting Person's account under the
   Company's Salary and Bonus Deferral Plan.  The shares allocated to the
   Reporting Person's account on the specified transaction dates were acquired
   by the plan trustee at various times and prices, resulting in the average
   prices indicated in the "Price" column.

5A.Reflects shares allocated to the Reporting Person's account under the
   Company's Salary and Bonus Deferral Plan as a result of dividends paid on
   shares held in such Plan.

6. Represents an option granted to the Reporting Person on April 22, 1997
   under the Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 5,000 shares
   of the Issuer's Common Stock at $18.00 per share.

7. Represents an option granted to the Reporting Person on May 18, 2001 under
   the Issuer's Long Term Stock Incentive Plan to purchase 25,000 shares
   of the Issuer's Common Stock at $16.87 per share.
