        <footnote id="F1">The acquisition of the 75,915 shares of common stock reflects an award of restricted stock on January 6, 2016, pursuant to the Company's 2009 Restricted Stock/Unit Plan.  The award vests two years from the grant date subject to the participant's continued employment with the Company and subject to accelerated vesting upon the death, disability or retirement of the participant, or upon a change in control of the Company.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">In addition to the acquisition reported in this Form 4, the amount of shares beneficially owned in column 5 of Table I has been increased by 11,744 shares in order to correct an inadvertent balance carryforward error initially made in a previous Form 4 filing in April 2015.  The error only affected column 5 of Table I; there were no errors to the transaction amounts reported in previous Form 4 filings.</footnote>
