Explanation of Responses:

1. The transaction reported represents the withholding of shares by the Issuer to satisfy the Reporting Person's tax withholding obligations in connection with the non-reportable vesting and settlement of restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units.

2. The security represents restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to the Reporting Person. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock of the Issuer. The shares underlying these RSUs vest in 16 equal quarterly installments, commencing on June 1, 2022, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service with the Issuer as of the applicable vesting date.

3. The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in several transactions at prices ranging from $60.12-$61.88, inclusive. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in footnote (3) to this Form 4.

4. The shares underlying this option vest in 48 equal monthly installments beginning on September 13, 2019, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service with the Issuer on each such date.
