*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	This represents the difference between the number of SARs exercised (13,190) and the number of shares issued as a result of the exercise (6,306). The number of shares to be issued under a SAR exercise is determined by multiplying the number of SARs being exercised by the difference between the FMV on the date of exercise ($73.185) and the exercise price ($21.70). Additional shares are then withheld to satisfy the Company's tax withholding obligations.
(2)	This price represents the average sale price for multiple transactions on this line. The prices of the transactions reported on this line ranged from $72.74 to $73.01. Upon request by the SEC staff, the Issuer or a security holder of the Issuer, the Reporting Person will undertake to provide full information regarding the number of shares and prices at which transactions were effected.
(3)	4,397 SARs became exercisable on February 22, 2011, 4,397 SARs became exercisable on February 22, 2012 and 4,396 SARs became exercisable on February 22, 2013.
