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 Reporting Person's original Form 4 indicated a transaction date of May 4, 2018.
(2) The Reporting Person's Form is being amended to correct the information regarding the time at which shares underlying the subject restricted stock units ("RSUs") were delivered to the Reporting Person. The date of delivery was May 9, 2018, rather than May 4, 2018, which was the date on which the RSUs became fully vested. In addition, the number of shares reported as delivered to the Reporting Person did not include 13 shares underlying RSUs granted to the Reporting Person as dividend equivalents; these shares are now included in the reported number of shares delivered to the Reporting Person. Fractional dividend equivalent RSUs were cancelled.
(3) Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of Issuer common stock.
(4) The RSUs vested ratably over the twelve months following the May 4, 2017 grant date.

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

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
