Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )On 09/04/2019, Mr. Slager exercised 46,236 options and sold such shares at the sale price of $90.00 (no range) in accordance with his established Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan executed on 08/16/2019 ("Plan"), and having a Plan start date of 08/23/2019 and Plan end date of 02/07/2020. Under the non-qualified stock option grant dated 02/08/2013, 190,253 options were granted and fully vested and exercisable. In accordance with the Plan, 95,126 options were exercised and sold as of 08/30/2019 (as reported in his 08/30/2019 Form 4 filing) and 95,127 options remained fully vested and exercisable (corrects the administrative error in Table II, Column 9 in his 08/30/2019 Form 4 filing that previously noted a 0 balance in available options under this grant). After the 09/04/2019 exercise and sale of the 46,236 options, there remained the balance of 48,891 options available under this grant and the Plan. The stock option grant expires on 02/08/2020. ( 2 )On 09/05/2019, Mr. Slager exercised the remaining 48,891 options and sold such shares at the sale price of $90.00 (no range) in accordance with his established Plan as described in the foregoing footnote. The stock option expires on 02/08/2020.
