### Footnotes:

(1) Performance vested restricted stock units convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis.

(2) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of the shares for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.

(3) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares to the extent in which he does not have a pecuniary interest, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

(4) The reporting person is the sole beneficiary of the trust and remains the beneficial owner of the securities held by the trust.

(5) These performance vested restricted stock units shall vest upon the Company's achievement of specified price hurdles during the four-year period after the grant date, as follows: (1) at a price of $41.17, 1/3 of the performance vested restricted stock units, of which 1/2 will vest upon the achievement of the price hurdle, and the remaining 1/2 will vest upon the first anniversary of achievement of such price hurdle; (2) at a price of $52.94, 1/3 of the performance vested restricted stock units, of which 1/2 will vest upon the achievement of the price hurdle, and the remaining 1/2 will vest upon the first anniversary of achievement of such price hurdle; and (3) at a price of $64.70, 1/3 of the performance vested restricted stock units, of which 1/2 will vest upon the achievement of the price hurdle, and the remaining 1/2 will vest upon the first anniversary of achievement of such price hurdle.

(6) (Continued from F5) The price hurdle shall be deemed "achieved" if during the performance period, there is a date on which (with respect to 45 trading days immediately preceding such date) the average closing stock price during such 45-trading-day period of the Company's common stock equaled the applicable price hurdle stock price. To the extent that any Performance Vested RSUs do not become vested by the fourth anniversary of the Award Date, any such unvested performance vested restricted stock units shall be immediately forfeited.
