Explanation of Responses:

1. Each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive, at settlement, one share of common stock (plus dividends accrued on the underlying shares) and are granted to the reporting person pursuant to the issuer's long-term incentive compensation plan for employees. The shares vest ratably over a three-year period on each annual anniversary of the grant.

2. Each performance right represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock at vesting. The performance rights vest at a rate between 0% and 200% and are based on two factors during a three-year performance cycle beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021 which are: 1) the issuer's relative total shareholder return ("TSR") in comparison to the TSR averages of a predetermined compensation peer group over the performance cycle; and 2) the issuer's return on invested capital ("ROIC") measured against the issuer's targeted ROIC improvement under its operating plan. The performance rights may be settled, at the issuer's discretion, in cash or shares of common stock.
