Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The reporting person inadvertently failed to previously report these shares purchased as reinvestment of cash dividends paid to the reporting person. ( 2 )These shares were not reflected in the amount of securities beneficial owned by the reporting person as reported in three earlier Form 4 reports filed on July 17, 2017, July 20, 2017 and July 31, 2017, respectively. ( 3 )The purchase on May 19, 2017 resulted in an incremental short-swing profit to the reporting person of $356.27 as a result of the reporting person's sale of shares on December 2, 2016. The reporting person has delivered a check in payment of this amount to the issuer. Because the purchases on February 24, 2017, August 18, 2017 and November 17, 2017 occurred at prices greater than the prices of the reporting person's sales that occurred on December 2, 2016 and July 19, 2017, no incremental short-swing profits were realized by the reporting person in connection with these transactions. ( 4 )Includes 136.449 shares inadvertently omitted from the amount of securities beneficial owned by the reporting person as reported in the reporting person's previous Form 4 reports.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
