The expected life of the SARs is based on historical data and current expectations and is not necessarily<br />
indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical<br />
volatility over a period similar to the life of the SARs is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be<br />
the actual outcome.<br />
