(a) Cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, reduced by capital expenditures. The Company uses this
    non-GAAP financial measure to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment,
    dividend distributions, acquisition opportunities and share repurchases. Refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis
    within Form 10-K for reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure.

(b) Comparable 2006 earnings per share growth of 11% excludes $65 million ($42 million after tax or $.11 per share) of costs
    attributable to the Company’s adoption of a new accounting standard that required the expensing of stock options.
