Explanation of Responses:
(1)  This transaction represents the settlement of performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") previously reported on 6/10/16 which vested on 3/15/19 upon achievement by the Issuer of certain performance levels based on the Issuer's (i) return on invested capital, as measured from 1/1/16 to 12/31/18, and (ii) annual compound total shareholder return, as measured from 5/31/16 to 3/15/19. Each PRSU represented a contingent right to receive on average between one and 2.5 shares of the Issuer's common stock.
(2)  This transaction represents the settlement of 13,130 restricted stock units ("RSUs") previously reported on 6/10/16 which vested on 3/15/19. Each RSU represented a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock.
(3)  This number represents the aggregate number of shares of the Issuer's common stock delivered solely to satisfy the tax withholding obligations due upon the vesting of the PRSUs and RSUs described above.
