        <footnote id="F1">These performance share units (&quot;PSUs&quot;) were granted on January 1, 2016, but were conditional upon the Issuer meeting certain growth performance goals for the 2016 calendar year.  On January 9, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors confirmed that the Issuer met the performance goals for the 2016 calendar year.  Each PSU represents the  right to receive one share of Common Stock upon vesting.  The PSUs vest as follows, subject to continued employment by the reporting person through the applicable vesting date:  (a) two-thirds vest on January 1, 2017, (b) one-sixth vest on January 1, 2018, and (c) one-sixth vest on January 1, 2019.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Upon the Compensation Committee confirming that the Issuer met the performance goals for the 2016 calendar year, the two-thirds of the PSUs that had vested on January 1, 2017 were settled in shares of Common Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">These shares of Common Stock were withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligation in connection with the settlement of vested PSUs into shares of Common Stock on January 9, 2017.</footnote>
