        <footnote id="F2">9,571 shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy income tax withholding requirements related to the lapsing of restrictions on (a) 1,717 shares of restricted stock awarded to the reporting person on 6/03/2014 (Form 4 filed on 5/7/2015); (b) 2,232 shares of restricted stock awarded to the reporting person on 8/12/2013 (Form 4 filed on 5/08/2014); (c) 3,087 shares of restricted stock awarded to the reporting person on 6/19/2012 (Form 4 filed on 5/07/2013) and (d) 20,704 shares of restricted stock awarded to the reporting person on 6/27/2011 (Form 4 filed on 5/07/2012). Because the reporting person's restricted holdings have been included in the direct ownership Common Stock disclosed by the reporting person, the reporting person's direct ownership of Common Stock has been reduced by 9,571 shares to reflect this tax withholding.</footnote>
