Section V Notes: (I) A few times each year, friends invite my spouse and me to sit with them at tables they have purchased at charity events. We occasionally invite friends to do the same, i.e., join us at tables we have purchased for charity events. Since my confirmation, each time a friend has invited us to sit at his/her table, my husband has made a contribution to the organization hosting the event equal to or greater than the fair market value of two tickets to the event. Each time, the invitation has come from a close friend whose friendship long predated my nomination. A few of those friends are lawyers and could someday represent clients in my court. To my knowledge, none of those friends was a party or represented clients in my court at the time of the event at which we sat at their table.

In response to capital calls, we invested an amount within category K on 1/4/10 and an amount within category Jon 4/28, 6/10, 8/26 and 11/2/10. (2) TPG Partners V, L.P. is a private equity fund that makes periodic capital calls. In response to capital calls, we invested an amount within category Jon 2/17, 4120, 5120, 7123, and 7 /28/10.

The Trustee of the Plan is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Houston, Texas. has no investment discretion with respect to the investments of this defined contribution plan, except for the after-tax contribution component as to w 1c has the liminted discretion to choose any of a number of funds that are available. The General Investment Fund is mostly an equity fund managed by severa outside investment advisors. I cannot determine how much of the change in total market value since last year was due to interest and/or dividends. JP Morgan Chase informed that they cannot provide me with this information.

(6) For the item in line 55, Pacific Life Insurance Co. says that it cannot provide the income for any year. Company representatives state that because I hold an interest in an index fund in which the cash value of an insurance policy has been invested, and not an individual taxable investment, there are no individual dividends or realized gains to report; all that is reported are gains or losses to the policy cash value. In addition, the company states, under applicable government regulations, an insurance policy is considered an asset, not an investment. (7) Nexus BT, LLLP was consolidated into Nexus Resources LLC effective 12/31/10. (8) The WG&M Partners' Target Pension Plan was inadvertently omitted from the F.D.R. for 2009 and 2010.

Page 9of10 Atlas, Nancy F. 5/12/2011 VIII. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR EXPLANATIONS. (Jndicate partofreport.) Section V Notes: (I) A few times each year, friends invite my spouse and me to sit with them at tables they have purchased at charity events. We occasionally invite friends to do the same, i.e., join us at tables we have purchased for charity events. Since my confirmation, each time a friend has invited us to sit at his/her table, my husband has made a contribution to the organization hosting the event equal to or greater than the fair market value of two tickets to the event. Each time, the invitation has come from a close friend whose friendship long predated my nomination. A few of those friends are lawyers and could someday represent clients in my court. To my knowledge, none of those friends was a party or represented clients in my court at the time of the event at which we sat at their table. Section VII Notes: (I) Diamond Castle Partner IV, L.P. is a private equity fund that makes periodic capital calls. In response to capital calls, we invested an amount within category K on 1/4/10 and an amount within category J on 4/28, 6/10, 8/26 and 11/2/10. (2) TPG Partners V, L.P. is a private equity fund that makes periodic capital calls. In response to capital calls, we invested an amount within category J on 2/17, 4/20, 5/20, 7 /23, and 7 /28/10. (3) Although left the employ of Vinson & Elkins, L.L.P. in 2006,. continues to participate in the Vinson & Elkins, L.L.P. Retirement Plans A and B. These are individual account defined contribution plans qualified under I.R.C. Section 40\(a). The contributions by the firm were fixed during employment by the firm. Retirement Plan A has a salary reduction I.RC. Section 40 l(k) feature. The Trustee of the Plan is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Houston, Texas. 'has no investment discretion with respect to the investments of this defined contribution plan, except for the after-tax contribution component as to which he has the liminted discretion to choose any of a number of funds that are available. The General Investment Fund is mostly an equity fund managed by several outside investment advisors. I cannot determine how much of the change in total market value since last year was due to interest and/or dividends. JP Morgan Chase informed that they cannot provide me with this information.. ii (4) Annual payment (beginning 1/15/15) of a fixed amount times years of service starting 1/1/95. Present value was provided bylb former law firm. (5) Wegoma Berkshire VII, L.P. is a private equity fund that makes periodic capital calls. In response to capital calls, we invested an amount within category J on 4/20, 7/28, and 12/8/10. (6) For the item in line 55, Pacific Life Insurance Co. says that it cannot provide the income for any year. Company representatives state that because I hold an interest in an index fund in which the cash value of an insurance policy has been invested, and not an individual taxable investment, there are no individual dividends or realized gains to report; all that is reported are gains or losses to the policy cash value. In addition, the company states, under applicable government regulations, an insurance policy is considered an asset, not an investment. (7) Nexus BT, LLLP was consolidated into Nexus Resources LLC effective 12/31/10. (8) The WG&M Partners' Target Pension Plan was inadvertently omitted from the F.D.R. for 2009 and 2010.
