        <footnote id="F2">Represents the number of shares required to be sold by the reporting person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of a restricted stock unit grant, which was previously reported in Table I on the Form 3 filed on March 20, 2017. This sale is mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plans to require the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations to be funded by a &quot;sell to cover&quot; transaction and does not represent a discretionary trade by the reporting person.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Represents a weighted average sales price per share. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $9.351 to $9.37 per share. The Reporting Person has provided to the Issuer, and undertakes to provide to the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any security holder of the Issuer, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price within the range.</footnote>
