**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Represents payout in shares of common stock of performance share rights previously reported on Table II. The corresponding entry for the disposition of the performance share rights is shown on Table II. Achievement of performance objectives resulted in the earning of 154% of the performance share rights previously reported on Table II. Also includes dividend rights previously accrued on such performance share rights and now paid in the form of shares of common stock.
(2)	Represents shares withheld to cover taxes in connection with the vesting of the performance share rights.
(3)	Represents the disposition (as a result of vesting and payout) of performance share rights previously reported on Table II where the performance objective (based on adjusted return on equity over a 3 year period) was met. The actual number of shares received could range from 0-160% of the target performance share rights granted on a sliding scale of performance levels and the number previously reported on Table II (which is also reported in Table II here) assumed payout at 100%. The corresponding payout of shares (at 154%) for the achievement of performance objectives, together with shares for accrued dividend rights, are reported on Table I.
