Explanation of Responses:
As a Non-Employee Director, I have elected to defer the receipt of a portion of
my director fees under the Toys "R" Us, Inc. Stock Unit Plan for Non-Employee
Directors. The Company has agreed to credit the value of such fees to a stock
account maintained by the Company in the form of Stock Units and use the funds
to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock to be set aside for my eventual
benefit. The Stock Units will generally be settled by delivery of the Common
Stock upon my retirement, resignation, or death. The shares of Common Stock
underlying my Stock Units were acquired on a periodic basis at the average price
noted.
