        <Identifier>Supplemental Compensation Information</Identifier>
        <Explanation>The filing organization and a related organization of the filing organization maintain Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans ("SERPS") as part of the total compensation arrangements for certain executives. The SERPS are designed to restore certain benefits that are lost as a result of tax restrictions on benefits payable from the tax-qualified defined benefit retirement plan. As part of the Compensation Committees (the "Committees") responsibilities, the Committees consider the new and total values of all SERP benefits as part of the total compensation for each participating executive. The Committee process is fully described in Schedule O as related to Part VI, Line 15. Included in Column B(iii) is an amount representing the current year change in actuarial value of benefits. No amounts were actually paid to the eligible executives during the year. The individuals listed below participated in a supplemental nonqualified retirement plan. The amount of the supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) benefit provided is noted next to the name of each individual: John R. Seffrin $ 115,460 Catherine E. Mickle $ 9,123 Frank S. Hale $ 1,887 Daniel E. Smith $ 8,840</Explanation>
