ANTI-DILUTIVE SECURITIES

Options to purchase 631 thousand shares of the company's common stock with
exercise prices ranging from $41.47 to $45.37 per share were outstanding at
September 30, 2002, and 959 thousand shares with exercise prices ranging from
$40.16 to $45.37 per share were outstanding at September 30, 2001. The shares
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for either
the nine-month or three-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, 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.
