        <footnote id="F2">Each Restricted Share Right (&quot;RSRs&quot;) represents a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">These RSRs vest in three installments: one-third on 3/15/2016, 3/15/2017, and 3/15/2018. As a condition to receiving the grant, the reporting person agreed to hold, while employed by the Company and for at least one year after retirement, shares of Company common stock equal to at least 50% of the after-tax shares (assuming a 50% tax rate) acquired upon vesting. These RSRs were granted to the reporting person as part of the reporting person's 2014 annual incentive compensation award.</footnote>
