Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Each share unit represents the economic equivalent of one share of common stock. Upon vesting, the share units are settled (i) 50% in cash based on average of the high and low sale prices of a share of the Company's common stock on the date of settlement (or the average of the high and low sale prices of the common stock on the preceding trading day if the settlement date is not a trading day) and (ii) 50% in shares of the Company's common stock, with any odd or fractional units rounded toward the share units to be settled in cash.
(2) (Continued from Footnote 1) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Person elected to defer the Reporting Person's 2018 annual director equity award into a share account pursuant to the terms of the Company's Director Equity Incentive Plan ("DEIP"). Therefore all of the share units granted to the Reporting Person for the 2018 annual director equity award will be settled following the Reporting Person's separation from service in accordance with the terms of the DEIP.
(3) Additional share units accrue when and as dividends are paid on the Company's common stock. The number of share units accrued will be equal to the dollar amount of dividends that would be payable if the share units were actual shares of common stock, divided by the average of the high and low sale prices of a share of the Company's common stock on the date dividends are paid.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
