Remarks:

In prior Section 16 filings, the reporting person aggregated different classes of derivative securities and reported under Column 9 of Table II the total aggregate amount of different classes of the same type of derivative securities (e.g., all RSUs) beneficially owned following the reported transaction. Going forward, the reporting person will no longer aggregate different classes of derivative securities but will include under Column 9 of Table II the total number of derivative securities beneficially owned following the reported transaction only with regard to the specific class of derivative securities included in that particular line item. In prior Section 16 filings, the reporting person included grants of certain non-derivative PSUs in Table II. Because the value of these securities is not directly derived from the price of the Issuer's common stock, these securities are not considered derivative securities and need not be reported in Table II. Going forward, the reporting person will no longer record grants of non-derivative PSUs in Table II but will only record in Table I the vesting and settlement of such non-derivative PSUs into shares of the Issuer's common stock.
