        <footnote id="F1">The sales reported were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person. 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 that was previously reported in Table I on the Form 4 filed on March 12, 2018. 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>
