Explanation of Responses:
<FN>
<F1>
These options were granted pursuant to the Issuer's Deferred Compensation
Program based on elections made in 2001 to defer income becoming payable in
2002.  The options are exempt under Rule 16b-3.  The number of shares subject to
option could not be calculated and the option did not become reportable until
final 2002 compensation amounts were determined.
