        <footnote id="F1">Each restricted stock unit (&quot;RSU&quot;) represents a contingent right to receive one share of Issuer common stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Reporting Person's Form 4 is being amended to correctly indicate that the Reporting Person did not make a deferral election with respect to RSUs granted to her on May 3, 2018. Therefore, the disclosure in footnote 2 to the original Form 4 is amended to read as follows:

The RSUs vest ratably over the twelve months following the date of grant. Shares of Issuer common stock underlying the vested RSUs will be delivered to the Reporting Person following the first anniversary of the grant date.</footnote>
