Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The sales reported on this Form 4 were effectuated pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on 03/09/17. ( 2 )The price in Column 4 is a weighted average price. The prices actually paid ranged from $13.24 to $13.48. Upon request, the reporting person will provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the SEC staff information regarding the number of shares purchased at each price within the range. ( 3 )Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Issuer's common stock. ( 4 )As reported in the Registration Statements on Form 10 filed by Issuer with the SEC, in connection with the spin-offs of Everett SpinCo, Inc. on 04/01/17 and Seattle SpinCo, Inc. on 09/01/17, equity-based awards granted by Issuer, prior to the spin-offs were converted to adjust the award in a manner intended to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the original award as measured immediately before and immediately after the spin-offs, subject to rounding. The adjusted equity award is otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to the original award immediately prior to the spin-offs, unless otherwise noted. The reporting person's equity based awards reflect the conversion adjustments. ( 5 )As previously reported, on 05/11/15, the reporting person was granted 40,059 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 24,015 of which vested on 05/11/16, and 31,621 of which vested on 05/11/17, and 40,415 of which will vest on and 05/11/18. Dividend equivalent rights accrue with respect to these RSUs when and as dividends are paid on Issuer's common stock.
