Explanation of Responses:

Id	Content
F1	Annual grant of restricted stock units pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated 2018 Global Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units vest in full on the one-year anniversary of the date of the grant. The reporting person has elected that upon vesting of the restricted stock units, receipt of the shares of Common Stock be deferred under the Company's 2008 Deferred Compensation Plan; accordingly, upon vesting, the reporting person will instead receive an equal number of shares of phantom stock. As provided in the Company's 2008 Deferred Compensation Plan, the phantom stock becomes payable in shares of Common Stock upon the earlier of the date previously elected by the reporting person to receive payment or the termination of the reporting person's service as a director of the Company.
F2	Each share of phantom stock represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock.
F3	The reported phantom stock represents dividend equivalents on compensation deferred under the Company's 2008 Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The shares of phantom stock become payable in shares of Common Stock, as provided in the Plan, following the termination of the reporting person's service as a director of the Company.
