Explanation of responses

Based on performance, the amount of the cash payout was decreased to 25% of the original award amount.

- F4The RSUP18 award was granted on March 8, 2013. Fifty percent of the target amount of the RSUP18 award will vest upon the satisfaction of service requirements, regardless of the achievement of performance goals, and was previously reported in connection with the granting of the award. Due to performance goals achieved, the number of RSUs under the award has been increased to 150% of the original target amount. Restricted stock units, coded "A", represent that portion of the award that was not previously reported. Amounts also reflect dividend reinvestment. RSUP18 will vest on March 1, 2016.
