(2)	100% of these Time RSUs may vest on February 19, 2024
(3)	Each RSU is issued pursuant to the Company's 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock, and vesting (i.e., forfeiture restriction termination) generally is subject to (i) the reporting person remaining an employee or director of the Company or its affiliates and (ii) the other criteria described in the footnotes herein.
(4)	Approximately 50% of these Time RSUs may vest on September 10 of each of 2023 and 2024.
(5)	0% to 150% of these Relative TSR Performance RSUs may vest on February 19, 2024 based on the Company's annualized total stockholder return ("TSR") performance ranking ("TSR Rank") relative to the constituent companies of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index for the three-year period ending December 31, 2023. The percentage of Relative TSR Performance RSUs that may vest will be (a) 0% if the TSR Rank is below the 30th percentile; (b) 50% if the TSR Rank is at the 30th percentile; (c) 100% if the TSR Rank is at the 55th percentile; and (d) 150% if the TSR Rank is at the 90th percentile or greater. If the TSR Rank is between the 30th and 55th percentiles or between the 55th and 90th percentiles, the percentage of Relative TSR Performance RSUs that may vest is determined using linear interpolation.

If TSR is between 6.5% and 11.5% or between 11.5% and 16.5%, the percentage of Absolute TSR Performance RSUs that may vest is determined using linear interpolation.
(7)	Approximately 50% of these Time RSUs may vest on February 19 of each of 2024 and 2025.
(8)	0% to 150% of these Relative TSR Performance RSUs may vest on February 19, 2025 based on the Company's TSR Rank relative to the constituent companies of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index for the three-year period ending December 31, 2024.
