Explanation of Responses:

1. On June 8, 2021, the Issuer granted to the Reporting Person restricted stock units ("Annual Grant RSUs") of the Issuer in the amount indicated as portion of the annual equity grant made to the Reporting Person. Since the Annual Grant RSUs are payable solely in common stock, they are being reported in Table I of this Form 4. The Annual Grant RSUs vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the date of the Issuer's 2022 annual meeting of the stockholders, but the underlying shares will not be issued until the earlier of the Reporting Person's death or the first day of the seventh month following the Reporting Person's retirement from the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

2. In connection with the spin-off of Vontier Corporation by the Issuer, outstanding Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"), including RSUs previously granted to the Reporting Person, were subject to anti-dilution adjustments ("Anti-Dilution Adjustment"). To the extent that the outstanding RSUs granted to the Reporting Person were previously reported under Table I, the total number of shares reported include the additional RSUs held by the Reporting Person as a result of the Anti-Dilution Adjustment.

3. On June 8, 2021, the Issuer granted to the Reporting Person restricted stock units ("Deferral RSUs") of the Issuer in the amount indicated, based on a 20-day average price of $71.37, pursuant to deferral election made by the Reporting Person of $150,000 in annual retainer that would otherwise have been paid in cash. Since the Deferral RSUs are payable solely in common stock, they are being reported in Table I of this Form 4. The Deferral RSUs vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the grant date or the date of the Issuer's 2022 annual meeting of the stockholders, but the underlying shares will not be issued until the earlier of the Reporting Person's death or the first day of the seventh month following the Reporting Person's retirement from the Board of Directors of the Issuer.
