(3)	Stock Option granted pursuant to the 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The Option vested in five (5) equal annual installments beginning one (1) year from date of grant.
(4)	This option was previously reported as an option for 2,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $68.90, but was adjusted to reflect the special dividend declared by PSB on December 15, 2014.
