Adoption of 2017 Individual Performance
Goals

On February20, 2017, the Compensation Committee adopted
individual performance goals (IPGs) for our named executive
officers. We expect that 20% of each executives cash award under
our 2014 Key Officers Incentive Plan will be based on the
achievement of the IPGs and will be included in the 2017 award
formula adopted by the Committee at the end of March 2017. The
IPGs for our named executive officers ^{for 2017 are:}

^{Karl G.
Glassman: Strategic planning and succession
planning;}

^{Matthew C.
Flanigan: Strategic planning, information technology
improvements, succession planning and efficiency
initiatives;}

^{Perry E.
Davis: Growth initiatives and succession planning;
and}

^{Jack D.
Crusa: Mr.Crusa
was not assigned IPGs for 2017.}

David S. Haffner was the Companys Board Chair and Chief Executive Officer through December31, 2015. He was not employed by the Company after this date. As such, he did not receive IPGs for 2017.

As previously reported, Mr.Crusa notified the Company that his retirement date is expected to be December31, 2017. As determined in January 2017, as part of Mr.Crusas retirement transition, he will participate in the Companys Key Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the KMICP), which is a cash bonus plan for non-executive officers. The award formula for the KMICP is expected to be adopted in March 2017. Historically, the KMICP has had performance objectives based on Return on Capital Employed (70% relative weight) and Free Cash Flow (30% relative weight).

The achievement of the IPGs is measured by the following
schedule.
