        <footnote id="F1">The equity swap was settled pursuant to its terms based on the closing sale price of the Common Stock of the Issuer on the Transaction Date. The price pursuant to Rule 16b-6(c)(2) is set forth in Column 4 of Table I and Column 2 of Table II.  The settlement of the equity swap and the reported purchase of Common Stock in connection therewith are exempt from Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16b-6(b) thereunder.  On February 27, 2009, the termination date of the equity swap, the equity swap was settled in accordance with its terms.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Children's Investment Fund Management (Cayman) Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (&quot;TCIF&quot;) and The Children's Investment Fund Management (UK) LLP, an English limited liability partnership (&quot;TCIF UK&quot;) serve as management companies for The Children's Investment Master Fund, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the &quot;TCI Fund&quot;). Christopher Hohn is the managing partner of TCIF UK and the 100% owner of TCIF, and therefore is in a position to determine the investment and voting decisions made by the TCI Fund. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any and all securities reported herein in excess of their respective pecuniary interest therein and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. Mr. Hohn is a director of the Issuer.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Shares of Common Stock previously reported as an exempt payment pursuant to Rule 16b-3  to Mr. Hohn of director's fees and/or annual retainer in the form of Common Stock of the Issuer pursuant to the CSX Corporation Stock Plan for Directors. Such shares of Common Stock are held directly by Mr. Hohn for the benefit of the TCI Fund.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>TCIF UK, TCIF and the TCI Fund may be deemed to be directors by deputization by virtue of the fact that Mr. Hohn, the managing partner
of TCIF UK and the 100% owner of TCIF, serves on the board of directors of the Issuer.</remarks>
