Footnotes

The exercise and sale reported were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 sales plan adopted by the reporting person on February 15, 2011.
The options vested in three annual installments on February 22, 2006, February 22, 2007 and February 22, 2008.
This transaction was executed in multiple trades at prices ranging from $56.38 to $57.00. The price reported above reflects the weighted average sale price. The reporting person hereby undertakes to provide upon request to the SEC staff, the issuer or a security holder of the issuer full information regarding the number of shares and prices at which the transaction was effected.
The amount includes approximately 190 shares acquired via dividend reinvestment during 2011 pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan, sponsored by a broker-dealer, that essentially mirrors a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by the registrant.
These underlying shares were acquired on a periodic basis by the trustee of the Company's tax qualified Profit Sharing (401(k)) and/or Supplemental Deferred Compensation Plan. The information was obtained from the plan administrator as of a current date. The number of shares is based on the account balance of the Company stock fund under each Plan (which includes some money market instruments) divided by the market price of the Company stock as of that date.
