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).

Hale will separate from his position as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, effective on December 31, 2017. This represents options held by Mr. Hale at the time of termination, which expired upon his departure on December 31, 2017 and subsequently resulted in a pre-vesting forfeiture.
