CALCULATION OF FILING FEE


Transaction Valuation*		Amount of Filing Fee**
$2,102,212,897		$254,789***

The transaction value was calculated by adding (a) 74,931,471 shares of issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Carbon Black, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Carbon Black”), multiplied by the offer price of $26.00 per Share and (b) 7,396,477 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding vested options to acquire Shares from Carbon Black with an exercise price less than the offer price of $26.00 per share, multiplied by $20.82, which is the offer price of $26.00 per Share less the weighted-average exercise price for such options of $5.18 per Share.

**	The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for fiscal year 2019, effective October 1, 2018, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001212.
