<P STYLE="color: #000033; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On May 7, 2019, we entered into an accelerated
share repurchase agreement with Morgan Stanley &amp; Co. LLC, or Morgan Stanley, pursuant to a Fixed Dollar Accelerated Share Repurchase
Transaction, or the ASR Agreement, to repurchase $30 million of shares of common stock. The terms of the ASR Agreement provide
for calculation of the final number of shares to be repurchased based generally on the average of the daily volume-weighted average
prices of the common stock during the term of the transaction, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms
and conditions of the ASR Agreement. At settlement, under certain circumstances, the terms of the ASR Agreement provide for Morgan
Stanley to deliver additional shares of common stock to us, or under certain circumstances, the terms of the ASR Agreement provide
for us to, at our election, deliver shares of common stock or make a cash payment to Morgan Stanley. The ASR Agreement contains
certain terms customary for agreements of this type, including provisions for adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events
and the circumstances under which the ASR Agreement may be extended or terminated early or adjusted in other respects. We expect
the accelerated share repurchase program to be completed by the first quarter of 2020.</P>

<P STYLE="color: #000033; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On May 2, 2019, we announced that the board
of directors had approved a stock repurchase plan to acquire up to $20 million of shares of common stock from time to time in open
market transactions. This amount is in addition to the $30 million of shares of common stock to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement.</P>

be repurchased in open market or private transactions, through block trades, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted
in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, any open market purchases will be conducted
in accordance with the limitations set forth in Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other applicable legal requirements.
The repurchase program has no expiration date.</P>

appropriate. We are not obligated to repurchase any particular number of shares in total or in any specific time period.</P>
