        <footnote id="F1">Pursuant to the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2008 Executive Performance Incentive Plan and the terms of the related award agreement, each time shares of common stock are issued upon the vesting of restricted stock units, a portion of the shares are automatically withheld by the Issuer to satisfy the resulting tax withholding obligation.  In connection with the vesting of 17,020 restricted stock units held by the Reporting Person on 3/6/2017, the Issuer has withheld 2,730 shares of common stock to satisfy the resulting tax withholding obligation.  The withholding of these shares occurred automatically upon the vesting of the restricted stock units, and as such, no investment decision was made by the Reporting Person in connection with this transfer.</footnote>
