 Employee.

SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio reported by the Company may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

#### Pay versus Performance
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between "compensation actually paid" to our CEO and to our other NEOs and certain financial performance of the Company. Compensation actually paid, as determined under SEC requirements, does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our executive officers during a covered year. For further information concerning the Company’s Total Rewards strategy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” beginning on page 35.
