        <footnote id="F1">The reporting person sold shares in multiple same day, same way open market transactions, with prices ranging from $66.73 to $67.06 per share.  The reporting person has reported these sales on an aggregate basis using the weighted average price for the sales.  The reporting person undertakes to provide, upon request by the Securities and Exchange Commission staff, the Company or a security holder of the Company, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The information in this report regarding the number of shares held by the reporting person in the Woodward Retirement Savings Plan (the &quot;Plan&quot;) is based on a calculation as of November 18, 2016, and includes 10.98 shares acquired under the Plan since the date of the reporting person's last Form 4 with Table I reporting.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Options, which expire on November 16, 2017, became exercisable at the rate of 25% per year beginning on November 16, 2008.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The reporting person participates in the Woodward Executive Benefit Plan (the &quot;Executive Plan&quot;) and has elected to have a portion of his Long Term Incentive Plan bonus deferred and denominated in Company stock. Phantom stock units are accrued under the Executive Plan and are to be settled in 100% stock on a one-for-one basis upon separation from the Company. The total shown represents the dollar amount of deferrals divided by the current share price and, therefore, the number of shares reported may fluctuate from period to period. The total shown also includes shares acquired under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan.</footnote>
