Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The sales reported in this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on May 31, 2018.
(2)	The issuer's outside administrator for the issuer's 401(k) plan holds issuer stock in a pooled fund as a participant investment option. Participant contributions designated for investment in issuer common stock are accounted for as units of interest in the issuer stock fund. Each unit was valued at $52.604 as of July 10, 2018. The unit value can fluctuate with fluctuations in the value of the issuer common stock and the daily cash position of the issuer stock fund. The number of shares of issuer stock attributable to the reporting person can be determined at any time by first multiplying the number of units in the reporting person's account by the then current unit price and dividing the total by the price of the issuer common stock. As of July 10, 2018, the reporting person held an equivalent of 156.242 shares in the issuer 401(k) plan. The 401(k) plan is a "Qualified Plan" as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(4).
