        <footnote id="F1">The Long Term Incentive Performance-Based RSUs (the LTIP Performance RSUs) were granted pursuant to the Issuers 2015 Stock Incentive Plan and a related award agreement.  The LTIP Performance RSUs may vest subject to the Issuers achievement with respect to pre-established Pre-Tax Income and Revenue targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 (the Performance Criteria).  The number of LTIP Performance RSUs that will vest on March 31, 2021 will be determined based on the Issuers level of achievement with respect to the Performance Criteria.  If the Performance Criteria is not achieved at the threshold level, no vesting will occur and the LTIP Performance RSUs will be cancelled. The LTIP Performance RSUs will be settled in the Issuers common stock upon satisfaction of the Performance Criteria.</footnote>
