        <footnote id="F1">Represents shares of common stock underlying performance shares earned upon the achievement of performance criteria determined to be satisfied on February 14, 2019.  The performance shares vest 25% annually over four years from the grant date of July 2, 2018, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service with the Issuer through the applicable vesting dates.  Each performance share initially represented the right to receive one or more shares of common stock based on, and subject to, the achievement of revenue-based performance criteria determined by the Issuer's Compensation Committee in February 2018 as set forth in the Performance Share Award Agreement.  The number of shares of common stock that the Reporting Person was entitled to receive ranged from 0% to 150% of the number of performance shares awarded, and the performance criteria was achieved at the 83% level.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Includes an aggregate of 5,928 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the performance shares reported above and previously reported restricted stock units that have not vested as of February 14, 2019.</footnote>
