Explanation of Responses:


1 for 1

The deemed execution date for this transaction is 12/4/2002.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Amended FirstEnergy Corp.
Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors.

Represents number of shares beneficially owned as of 12/19/2002.

This is a correction - not a sale.  The Director elected to receive compensation
in the form of deferred cash for 2002.  Some of his fee balances were
inadvertently applied to deferred stock.  This amendment corrects the error.
