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)	On February 21, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors determined these performance shares were earned, based on the level of attainment of various financial performance goals. These shares, which were granted in March 2018, are expected to vest in three equal increments on each of March 7, 2019, 2020 and 2021, subject to the grant agreement between the Issuer and the Reporting Person.
(2)	The reporting person reported sales of an aggregate of 55,000 shares during the period from May 2, 2018 through November 6, 2018 pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans adopted by the reporting person. These shares were incorrectly reported as being sold from the reporting person's direct holdings rather than the reporting person's indirect holdings. As a result, this Form 4 updates the reporting person's direct and indirect holdings to accurately reflect the sale of shares from the reporting person's indirect holdings.
(3)	Restricted stock award which is expected to vest in three equal increments on each of March 7, 2020, 2021 and 2022, subject to the grant agreement between the Issuer and the Reporting Person.
(4)	Stock option award is expected to vest in three equal increments on each of March 7, 2020, 2021 and 2022, subject to the grant agreement between the Issuer and the Reporting Person.
