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) This option vests in equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the original grant date, which was March 29, 2018.
(2) The Restricted Stock Units granted to the Reporting Person on March 29, 2018 (the "Original Grant Date") vest in equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Original Grant Date. Upon each vesting date, each vested RSU shall automatically convert into one (1) share of common stock of the Company.
(3) Each Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) represents the right to receive, following vesting, up to 200% of one share of common stock of the Company. The resulting number of shares of common stock of the Company acquired upon vesting of the Performance-Based RSUs is contingent upon the achievement of pre-established performance parameters, as approved by the Company's Compensation Committee, over a three-year performance period beginning on the grant date and ending on the third anniversary of the grant date.
(4) Unless earlier forfeited under the terms of the Performance-Based RSU, each Performance-Based RSU vests and converts into no more than 200% of one share of common stock of the Company three years and 14 days after the grant date.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
