Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On May&nbsp;11, 2017, the Board of Directors appointed each of John F. Coleman and Brent W. Wood as
Executive Vice President of the Company. As previously announced, Mr.&nbsp;Wood was also appointed
Chief Financial Officer effective August&nbsp;1, 2017. In connection with the appointment as Executive
Vice President, the Company entered into revised Severance and Change in Control Agreements with
each of Messrs.&nbsp;Coleman and Wood. The Severance and Change in Control Agreements are substantively
identical to the agreements entered into with the Company&#146;s President and other Executive Vice
President, the form of which was previously filed as Exhibit&nbsp;10.1 to the Company&#146;s Current Report
on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May&nbsp;18, 2016.

annual or long-term cash or equity incentive compensation with respect to the 2017 performance
period. In lieu thereof, the Compensation Committee approved a salary in the amount of $1,025,030,
which equals Mr.&nbsp;McKey&#146;s 2016 total compensation prorated for the partial year through his
retirement on July&nbsp;31, 2017.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">On May&nbsp;10, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors amended the
compensation program for the non-employee directors. As amended, the retainer for the Chairman of
the Compensation Committee was increased from $10,000 to $15,000. Additionally, the Compensation
Committee approved a special retainer for the Chairman of the Board in the amount of $175,000.

ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 11, 2017, the Board of Directors appointed each of John F. Coleman and Brent W. Wood as
Executive Vice President of the Company. As previously announced, Mr. Wood was also appointed
Chief Financial Officer effective August 1, 2017. In connection with the appointment as Executive
Vice President, the Company entered into revised Severance and Change in Control Agreements with
each of Messrs. Coleman and Wood. The Severance and Change in Control Agreements are substantively
identical to the agreements entered into with the Company's President and other Executive Vice
President, the form of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report
on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2016.
On May 10, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved a transitional
compensation arrangement with N. Keith McKey, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
who has announced his retirement effective July 31, 2017. Mr. McKey will not be eligible for any
annual or long-term cash or equity incentive compensation with respect to the 2017 performance
period. In lieu thereof, the Compensation Committee approved a salary in the amount of $1,025,030,
which equals Mr. McKey's 2016 total compensation prorated for the partial year through his
retirement on July 31, 2017.
On May 10, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors amended the
compensation program for the non-employee directors. As amended, the retainer for the Chairman of
the Compensation Committee was increased from $10,000 to $15,000. Additionally, the Compensation
Committee approved a special retainer for the Chairman of the Board in the amount of $175,000.
