The reporting person is an employee benefit plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, with individual accounts for the benefit of participating employees and their beneficiaries.  The reporting person's assets are held in trust by the trustees Francis V. Mulcahy, A.J. Fanelli, John C. Hosier and Bruce E. Miller ("Plan Trustees").  The number of shares listed as beneficially owned represents the entire number of shares of Common Stock held by the Plan Trust, as of December 31, 2015.  As of December 31, 2015, 243,734 shares of Common Stock were allocated to individual accounts established for participating employees and their beneficiaries and 453,536 shares were held, unallocated, for allocation in future years. In general, participating employees and their beneficiaries have the power and authority to direct the voting of shares of Common Stock allocated to their individual accounts through the Plan Trustees, who have shared voting power over the allocated Common Stock.  Any unallocated Common Stock is generally required to be voted by the Plan Trustees in the same manner that the shares of Company Stock which have been allocated to the accounts of individual participants and beneficiaries are actually voted thereby, subject in each case to the fiduciary duties of the Plan Trustees and applicable law.
