Explanation of Responses:

1. Share amount updated to reflect change in form of beneficial ownership between directly owned shares and shares held jointly with spouse as joint tenants.

2. Shares are owned jointly by Mr. Hogan and his wife, Melinda J. Hogan, as joint tenants.

3. The price reflects a weighted average sale price for multiple transactions ranging from $25.00 to $25.19 per share, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide, upon request by the SEC staff, the issuer, or a stockholder of the issuer, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price.

4. The number of shares beneficially owned following the reported transaction is equal to the reporting person's September 6, 2017, account balance in the employer stock fund under the issuer's 401(k) plan, divided by the closing price on September 6, 2017. The plan is unitized and as such does not itself allocate a specific number of shares to each participant.
