        <footnote id="F1">The Reporting Person was granted unvested performance-vesting restricted stock units (PVRSUs) on September 24, 2010, based upon the Compensation Committee's certification of the extent to which certain predetermined performance criteria applicable to such PVRSUs were achieved and the Reporting Person's continued employment with the Issuer.  On September 12, 2013, the Compensation Committee certified the extent to which the performance criteria applicable to such PVRSUs were achieved; therefore, pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement, 20,278 PVRSUs thereafter vested and were settled in shares on September 13, 2013 and are reported herein.</footnote>
