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) As part of a company-wide grant to all eligible employees of the Issuer, on November 7, 2024 (the "Grant Date"), the Reporting Person was granted a performance stock option to purchase 87,481 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $102.70. The option is subject to (1) a service-based vesting condition (vesting as to one-third of the shares on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the Grant Date) and (2) a performance-vesting condition (which generally requires that the trading price of the Issuer's Common Stock average, over a one-year period, is at least $154.05 (150% of the Grant Date closing price)).
(2) Represents the target number of shares of Issuer's Common Stock underlying an award of performance restricted stock units ("PSUs"). Each PSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Common Stock. The attainment of the performance vesting condition will be based on the Issuer's percentile rank within a peer group based on total shareholder return ("TSR") during a four-year performance period that commenced on November 7, 2024, the Grant Date, subject to the Reporting Person's continuous service with the Issuer through completion of the performance period. The actual number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock deliverable with respect to the award varies based on performance and ranges from 0% to 250% of the target number of shares.
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.
