Since there is no marginal cost to the Company, no fee is charged, although the IRS rules require an income imputation for such use.

(2) Cash payment made at first Board meeting of the year.

There are no other committee meeting fees. (4) A grant of shares of restricted stock valued in the amounts shown, vesting in each case ratably over a three year period. Value of restricted stock will be closing stock price, computed pursuant to the Company's usual methodology (i.e. with reference to closing market prices, without regard to discount for illiquidity/forfeiture risk).
