        <footnote id="F2">The stock options are scheduled to become exercisable as to 29,027 shares on each of March 20, 2020, March 20, 2021 and March 20, 2022 and as to 29,028 shares on March 20, 2023.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The stock options are scheduled to become exercisable as to 29,027 shares on each of March 20, 2020, March 20, 2021 and March 20, 2022 and as to 29,028 shares on March 20, 2023 (each, a &quot;Vesting Date&quot;), subject to the Company's achievement of annual adjusted EBITDA growth of 10% or more compared to actual adjusted EBITDA for the calendar year ending December 31, 2018 (the &quot;AEBITDA Goal&quot;).  If the AEBITDA Goal is met prior to the first Vesting Date, then all four annual installments will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule.  If the AEBITDA Goal is met subsequent to the first Vesting Date, each annual installment relating to a Vesting Date that has already occurred will automatically vest upon achievement of the AEBITDA Goal and any remaining installments will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule.  If the Compensation Committee of the Company determines that the AEBITDA Goal has not been achieved by the end of the 2022 fiscal year, all stock options are forfeited.</footnote>
