Year       Dividend                                Growth rate

2001         $1.47                 0

2002        $2.19              ( ( $2.19 / $1.47 ) - 1 ) x 100 = 48.98%

2003        $3.49             ( ( $3.49 / $2.19 ) - 1 ) x 100 = 59.36%

2004        $4.45             ( ( $4.45 / $3.49 ) - 1 ) x 100 = 27.51%

2005        $5.67             ( ( $5.67 / $4.45 ) - 1 ) x 100 = 27.42%

2006        $6.71              ( ( $6.71 / $5.67 ) - 1 ) x 100 = 18.34%

2007        $7.05             ( ( $7.05 / $6.71 ) - 1 ) x 100 = 5.07%

2008        $8.15              ( ( $8.15 / $7.05 ) - 1 ) x 100 = 15.60%

2009        $7.52             ( ( $7.52 / $8.15 ) - 1 ) x 100 = -7.73%
