Explanation of Responses:

1. Grant of restricted stock subject to vesting under the Issuer's 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.

2. The aggregate dollar value of the annual equity award to each director in 2017-2018 shall be $220,000, with one quarter of that amount in stock, or $55,000, to be granted on the first day of each quarter based on the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on such day. Since the grant date of October 1, 2017 was a non-trading day, the number of shares was calculated based on the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on September 29, 2017, of $68.76. Thus, the grant this quarter for services as a Director is for 800 shares of the Issuer's common stock.

3. Represents the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on September 29, 2017.

4. The shares are held by the M/T Molina Family Trust, of which Dr. Molina and his spouse are trustees and beneficiaries.

5. Includes 48,370 shares previously transferred from JMM GRAT 715/3 in a non-reportable transaction.
