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) The price in column 4 is a weighted average price. The prices actually received for the stock ranged from $77.17 to $77.24 per share. Mr. Durkin has provided the Company, and upon request, will provide any security holder of the Company or the SEC staff, with information regarding the number of shares sold at each price within that range.
(2) On March 14, 2018, 53,712 performance-vesting restricted stock units held by Mr. Durkin vested. Pursuant to the terms of his restricted stock unit award agreement, the Company withheld 26,437 of the shares otherwise deliverable to him in order to satisfy the resulting tax withholding obligation. As the performance conditions underlying this restricted stock unit award were not achieved at the maximum level, 2,280 previously reported restricted stock units did not vest.
(3) Following the transactions reported on this Form 4, Mr. Durkin held (a) 112,329 shares of the Company's common stock and (b) 10,268 performance-vesting restricted stock units, each representing the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.
(4) These options were fully vested as of March 14, 2017.

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