(2) Pursuant to the Company's Equity Grant and Settlement Policy, vested shares will not be delivered to the reporting person until the Company's trading window opens.
(3) RSUs convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis. Accordingly, there was no purchase price paid by the reporting person.

(6) This RSU award was granted on September 15, 2016 and vests in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. This Form 4 reflects the vesting of this RSU on September 15, 2020 as to 100% of the original grant amount.
