        <footnote id="F1">Represents performance shares being issued to the reporting person based on the achievement of performance targets for the period beginning January 1, 2015 and ending on December 31, 2015. These performance shares if earned vest in equal tranches over a four year period, commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date.  Because the Compensation Committee did not certify the attainment of the performance targets until January 25, 2018, the first two tranches were not deemed vested until that date.  The remainder of the performance shares will vest in equal installments in March 2018 and March 2019.</footnote>

Each PSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock if predetermined levels of absolute common stock price compounded annual growth rate are achieved over a three-year performance period ending on the third anniversary of the grant date.  The number of PSUs shown in the table represents the maximum number that could be earned; the target number is one-half the maximum number.</footnote>
