Each Performance Stock Unit (&quot;Performance Stock Unit&quot;) award represents the right, upon achievement of certain specified performance-based vesting criteria prior to the end of a specified performance period, to receive one (1) share of the Issuer's common stock.</footnote>

Assuming continued service through the vesting date and achievement of the specified performance-based vesting criteria prior to the end of the specified performance period, the Performance Stock Units, as adjusted, will generally vest on December 31, 2017 (with respect to the 2015 grant) and December 31, 2018 (with respect to the 2016 grant - reported herein).</footnote>
