Discount rate ....................................... 4.95% 4.05% 4.95% 4.05%

In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market information provided by its
plan actuaries including a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company’s pension obligation and general
movements in the current market environment. The discount rate modeling process involves selecting a portfolio
of high quality, noncallable bonds that will match the cash flows of the Retirement Plan.
