(3) The option vests 50% on 4/1/05 and 50% on 4/1/06, but the reporting person may exercise the option after six months from the grant date, with the "profit" shares being credited to a non-discretionary deferral account on behalf of the reporting person in the form of phantom stock.

(5) The option vests 50% on 4/1/06 and 50% on 4/1/07, but the reporting person may exercise the option after six months from the grant date with the "profit" shares being credited to a non-discretionary deferral account on behalf of the reporting person in the form of phantom stock.
(6) The option is a reload option resulting from the exercise on 4/6/04 of an option granted on 4/1/03.
