        <footnote id="F1">Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (&quot;CPPIB&quot;) is the employer of Kevin Godwin, a non-employee director of the Issuer.  The Issuer and Mr. Godwin have agreed that any options or other rights to acquire securities that would otherwise be paid or given to Mr. Godwin by the Issuer as a result of his service as a director of the Issuer shall instead be issued to CPPIB as Mr. Godwin's employer.  Accordingly, the Issuer issued these restricted shares directly to CPPIB on December 6, 2012.  Mr. Godwin has no beneficial ownership of or pecuniary interest in these restricted shares.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">On December 17, 2012, CPPIB filed a joint Form 3 regarding these shares with CPP Investment Board PMI-2 Inc. (&quot;CPPIB PMI-2&quot;).  CPPIB PMI-2 directly owns these shares of common stock of the Issuer.  CPPIB PMI-2 is a wholly owned subsidiary of CPPIB, thus CPPIB is an indirect beneficial owner of the securities</footnote>
