FN1:  The Heritage Group is a general partnership formed under the laws of the State of Indiana. Twenty-nine grantor trusts own all of the outstanding general partner interests in the Reporting Person. Six trustees, acting on behalf of each of these trusts, have the duty and have been empowered to carry out the purposes of the general partnership pursuant to the Articles of Partnership. The six trustees are Fred M. Fehsenfeld, Jr., James C. Fehsenfeld, Nicholas J. Rutigliano, William S. Fehsenfeld, Amy M. Schumacher, and Jeffrey A. Laborsky. Each of the 29 grantor trusts is managed by these six trustees, and each trust independently owns Common Stock of the Issuer. The Heritage Group and each of the 29 grantor trusts is an entity separate and distinct from each of the others. Each is operated in accordance with its own governing agreement and by the trustees, acting according to the fiduciary duties imposed upon trustees and partners under the trust and other laws of the State of Indiana. Accordingly, The Heritage Group disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock owned by the 29 grantor trusts.
