        <footnote id="F1">Corrects the aggregate amount of securities beneficially owned by the reporting person. Securities related to the Form 4 filed on June 6, 2014 were inadvertently omitted from column 5 of the reporting person's Form 4 originally filed on June 5, 2015. These securities were also inadvertently omitted from the column 5 ownership amount of the reporting person's subsequent Form 4 filed on June 3, 2016. The 12,007 of securities beneficially owned are comprised of the 6,740 restricted stock units granted on June 5, 2013 that vested and converted to common shares on June 5, 2014, which were reported on the Form 4 filed on June 6, 2014, minus the 911 shares withheld for taxes upon the vesting of restricted stock units, which were reported on the amended Form 4 filed on July 5, 2017, plus the 6,178 restricted stock units granted on June 3, 2015 and reported in Table I of the Form 4 filed on June 5, 2015.</footnote>
