Explanation of Responses:
(1)	These market share units will vest on March 10, 2019.
(2)	Each market share unit converts into the number of shares of common stock determined by applying a payout factor to the target number of shares vesting on a given date. The payout factor is a ratio of the average of the closing price on the measurement date plus the nine prior trading days divided by the average stock price on the grant date (also a 10-day average). The minimum payout factor that must be achieved to earn a payout is 60% and the maximum payout factor is 200%.

(5)	Twenty-five percent of these market share units will vest on each of the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, starting on March 10, 2019.
