ANTI-DILUTIVE SECURITIES

Options to purchase 953 shares of the Company's common stock with exercise
prices ranging from $38.39 to $45.37 per share were outstanding at June 30,
2001, and 1,026 shares with exercise prices ranging from $35.19 to $45.37 per
share were outstanding at June 30, 2000. The shares were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share for periods either the six or
three-month ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, since inclusion of these options would
have anti-dilutive effects, as the options-exercise prices exceeded the
respective average market prices of the Company's shares.
