     Common stock held in trusts represents rabbi trusts in connection with deferred compensation under the Company’s employee salary and bonus deferral plan and Directors’ deferral plan.

Preferred Stock Purchase Rights
In accordance with the Company’s shareholder rights plan, each certificate representing a share of outstanding common stock of the Company also represents one Preferred Stock Purchase Right (a “Right”). Each whole Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one eight-hundredths of a share of Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $1.00 per share, at a price of $67.50. The Rights will not become exercisable unless and until, among other things, a third party acquires 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Rights are redeemable under certain circumstances at $.01 per Right and will expire, unless earlier redeemed, on April 25, 2006. There are 500,000 shares of preferred stock designated Series A, none of which has been issued.
