        <footnote id="F1">The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. The shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $39.61 to $39.81, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to the issuer, any security holder of the issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in footnote 1 of this Form 4.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The number of underlying securities is based on the stock fund balance. The actual number of shares issuable upon the distribution date is not determinable since the fund is a unitized account consisting of 96% company shares and 4% money market fund.</footnote>
