(1) For “Shares acquired per Retainer Policy,” this line item refers to the Company’s Retainer Policy for Non-Employee Directors. The above non-employee directors were paid 300 shares of Common Stock each quarter. Common Stock issued to non-employee directors is nontransferable until the later of two years from issuance or six months after the recipient’s cessation of service as a director of the Company. For “Purchase — Dividend Reinvestment,” the director/employee elected to reinvest the dividends paid on the Common Stock to purchase shares of common stock. For “Purchased through 401(k),” the employee elected to purchase, via monthly contributions, Common Stock as one of their investment choices within the 401(k). For “Exchange within the 401(k),” the employee elected to rebalance their 401(k) investments by either an exchange out of or into the Common Stock investment fund.
 
(2) Represents the exercise of stock options that were awarded under the 1993 Award and Option Plan or the 1997 Award and Option Plan. Payment of the exercise price and taxes, if applicable, may be in cash or by tendering shares of Common Stock. For example, on February 7, 2007, Mr. Tanski elected to exercise 25,000 nonqualified stock options and pay the exercise cost with shares he already owned and elected to pay cash for his tax liability. He gave the Company 13,050 shares to receive 25,000 shares back. His Common Stock ownership increased by the net new shares of 11,950 (25,000 less shares he tendered of 13,050).
 
(3) Represents shares that were used to pay tax liability due upon the vesting of shares of restricted stock. Mr. Ackerman had 25,000 shares of restricted stock vest on March 14, 2006 and 25,000 shares of restricted stock vest on March 14, 2007.
