Awards excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS(3):

Performance-based awards	—		1,141

(1) Represents dividends paid and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested stock-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.

(2) Represents the assumed dilutive effect of unexercised and/or unvested stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units and contingently issuable performance-based awards utilizing the treasury stock method.

(3) Represents stock-based awards not included in the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock, and, therefore, are considered anti-dilutive.
