        <footnote id="F1">Pursuant to the 2008 Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended (the &quot;DCP&quot;), non-employee directors who earn quarterly cash retainer fees for their services on the Company's Board may elect to defer receipt of their quarterly cash fees until after the end of the director's service on the Board, and to direct the investment of the deferred cash into phantom stock units which track the performance of the Company's Common Stock for the duration of the deferral period.  The number of phantom stock units so acquired is calculated by dividing the deferred cash retainer amount by the closing price for the Company's Common Stock on the date the cash retainer is payable.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Dividends payable on the Company's Common Stock also accrue with respect to phantom stock units, and phantom stock units are subject to dividend reinvestment during the deferral period.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The aggregate value of the phantom stock units, including any additional phantom stock units acquired through dividend reinvestment during the deferral period, will be paid out in cash to the reporting person after the end of his service on the Board.  At such time, the cash value of the phantom stock units will be calculated based on the closing price for the Company's Common Stock on the payment date, in accordance with the DCP and the reporting person's elections for his 2019 Director compensation which are on file with the Company.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">At the end of the deferral period, the cash value of the phantom stock units will be calculated based on the closing price for the Company's Common Stock on the payment date, in accordance with the DCP and the reporting person's elections for his 2019 Director compensation which are on file with the Company.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">The reporting person has elected to defer settlement of the cash value of the phantom stock units until after the end of his service on the Board of the Company, pursuant to the terms of the DCP.</footnote>

        <footnote id="F7">The reporting person's acquisition price for each phantom stock unit is equal to the closing price of one share of the Company's Common Stock on the Transaction Date.</footnote>

Dividend reinvestment accruals were calculated based on the Company's closing stock price on each of the following dates on which a dividend was paid to holders of the Company's Common Stock:  March 15, 2019, June 14, 2019, September 13, 2019, and December 13, 2019.</footnote>

Dividend reinvestment accruals were calculated based on the Company's closing stock price on each of the following dates on which a dividend was paid to holders of the Company's Common Stock:  June 14, 2019, September 13, 2019, and December 13, 2019.</footnote>

Dividend reinvestment accruals were calculated based on the Company's closing stock price on each of the following dates on which a dividend was paid to holders of the Company's Common Stock:  September 13, 2019, and December 13, 2019.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F11">The reported total includes 18.8893 phantom stock units accrued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the DCP during the period November 1, 2019, through December 13, 2019, in a transaction exempt from Section 16 pursuant to Rule 16a-11.
