        <footnote id="F7">Concurrent with the award of 11,406 service-based Restricted Stock Units, the Company granted the reporting person additional Restricted Stock Units the number of which that can be earned will be based on performance targets (&quot;Performance RSUs&quot;). If the performance targets are achieved at 100%, the reporting person can receive 13,308 Performance RSUs over the vesting period; the actual number of Performance RSUs received may be more or less depending on whether and to the extent that performance is greater than or less than targets and may be less if the reporting person does not remain employed during the vesting period. Performance RSUs are not reported in Table II; the underlying shares of Performance RSUs will be reported in Table I if and when the Talent and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines that the performance targets have been achieved.</footnote>
