Explanation of Responses:
(1)  The price reflects a weighted average sale price for multiple transactions ranging from $25.42 to $25.74 per share, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide, upon request by the SEC staff, the issuer, or a stockholder of the issuer, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.
(2)  The number of shares beneficially owned following the reported transaction is equal to the reporting person's September 6, 2017, account balance in the employer stock fund under the issuer's 401(k) plan, divided by the closing price on September 6, 2017. The plan is unitized and as such does not itself allocate a specific number of shares to each participant.
(3)  The shares are held as custodian for minor grandchildren. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
