        <footnote id="F1">This price represents the weighted average purchase price (rounded to the nearest cent) for multiple transactions reported on this line. The prices of the transactions reported on this line ranged from $9.19 to $9.21. Upon request by the Commission staff, the issuer or a security holder of the issuer, the reporting person will undertake to provide full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">On September 4, 2018, the reporting person timely filed a Form 4 for the purchase of 4,250 shares of the issuer's common stock at $11.20 per share (the &quot;Prior Form 4&quot;).  While the aggregate amount and price information were correctly reported, the Prior Form 4 inadvertently reported that all 4,250 shares were attributable to the reporting person's direct non-derivative Table I holdings (&quot;Direct Holdings&quot;) when, in fact, 2,000 of such shares were purchased for the individual retirement account of the reporting person's spouse and should have been reported as indirect non-derivative Table I holdings (&quot;Indirect Holdings&quot;) of the reporting person.  The current report reflects the correct allocation of the reporting person's Direct Holdings and Indirect Holdings as of the date hereof, giving effect to the purchase transactions reported herein.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">[continued from footnote 2]  Other than the acquisition of 600 shares of restricted stock reported by the reporting person on Form 4 on March 1, 2019, there have been no other changes to the reporting person's Direct Holdings or Indirect Holdings since the time of the filing of the Prior Form 4.</footnote>
