Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) This Form 4 is being filed to report the withholding of shares of restricted stock to satisfy a tax withholding obligation relating to the vesting of restricted stock on each of January 3, 2006 and February 16, 2006, which was approved in accordance with Rule 16b-3. Due to an administrative oversight, a Form 4 was not filed for either transaction before the end of the second business day following the date on which the restricted stock vested.
(2) The number of shares shown as beneficially owned by Mr. Sambataro in column 5 of Table I on his most recent Form 4, filed on February 23, 2006, was 112,533. This number understated Mr. Sambataro's actual ownership by 25,279 shares as a result of the following errors: (a) on February 2, 2006, Mr. Sambataro acquired 21,619 shares pursuant to the exercise of a stock option exempted pursuant to Rule 16b-3 and sold such shares on the same date. A Form 4 was filed on February 6, 2006, which reported the sale of such shares but inadvertently omitted the acquisition of the shares. As a result of the omission, the Form 4 understated Mr. Sambataro's ownership by 21,619 shares. An amendment correcting such Form 4 was filed on April 21, 2006 and (b) as a result of a clerical error, the number of shares owned has been understated on previous Form 4 filings by 3,660 shares. The number of shares shown on this Form 4 reflects the number owned by Mr. Sambataro after correcting the foregoing errors.
(3) As of April 19, 2006, Mr. Sambataro also indirectly owned 13,011 Labor Ready Stock Units (Labor Ready 401(k) Plan). Each Unit consists of Labor Ready common stock and a cash component.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
